The St. Louis Cardinals have gone hot and cold on the trade market, making a quick splash deal involving expensive veteran Sonny Gray before going quiet for a month until their next deal. The December trade of first baseman Willson Contreras was more of a surprise to me than it should have been, and now Chaim Bloom has dealt two of the harder-to-trade pieces from the roster.
Still remaining on the roster are the two players I saw as most likely to be traded in utility man Brendan Donovan and third baseman Nolan Arenado.
