The Cardinals, in a normal year, have the reputation of a team who do not make major trades at the trading deadline. They’re in a familiar position at the trading deadline: no-mans land. They have a record of 12-13, which is, in this stupid weird season, too good of a record to sell, but it’s certainly not a good enough record to go all-in either. You don’t want to be the team to trade a major prospect only for it to not make a difference in a month of playing time and you certainly don’t want to trade Tommy Pham only to lose out on the playoffs by the difference of a Tommy Pham.
Cardinals won’t do anything at the trading deadline and they shouldn’t
