Following back-to-back series losses out of the All-Star Break, the St. Louis Cardinals are teetering towards being sellers at this year's trade deadline.
This is probably a good thing for the health of the organization. With Chaim Bloom set to take over the baseball operations side of things at the end of the year, keeping an eye on the future should be the front office's goal over the next week.
The Cardinals have several appealing trade candidates who are on expiring contracts. Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz will all be free agents at the end of the year, and each could help a contender's bullpen down the stretch and in the postseason.
