An Update on Cardinal Trade Values

We’re entering a very uncertain off-season for the Cardinals. They seem certain to cut payroll along with giant swaths of the rest of the league, but we don’t know how much they’ll cut and how they’ll supplement the roster. Nor do we know how the market will change with the potential influx of baseball’s middle class as free agents- think players like Kolten Wong. Even if they supplement with low-end free agents, the Cardinals are likely to trim payroll by trying to move several players via trade, as J.P. Hill mentioned yesterday. Now might be a good time to calibrate our expectations in these trades.
