ST. LOUIS -- As the season inches closer to the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, there will emerge a clearer separation of buyers and sellers. For the Cardinals, however, it's not only about determining their spot on that spectrum, but also deciding what they might try to buy.
A club hampered by injuries and inconsistency thus far continues to evaluate its needs and whether some of those can be addressed internally. Concurrently, they're also exploring who could be available as an upgrade from the outside.
On Friday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the Cardinals "have renewed interest" in Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas.
