The St. Louis Cardinals have been relatively quiet this offseason despite being one of the most popular teams this winter.
As the calendar nears Christmas and the end of 2025, the Cardinals can tout only two major moves: a trade of starting pitcher Sonny Gray and a signing of free agent starting pitcher Dustin May. This swap of pitchers signifies a different approach for the Cardinals as they look to get younger and keep an eye on the future.
The rest of Major League Baseball has also been moving slowly with key free agents such as Alex Bregman, Kyle Tucker, and Tatsuya Imai still on the market and major trade candidates such as Joe Ryan, Edward Cabrera, and Ketel Marte still with their original teams.
