Coming into the offseason, I was excited for what I thought was going to be plenty of moves made early and often by the St. Louis Cardinals. Those expectations were met quickly with the trade of Sonny Gray, but then it has been tumbleweeds on the trade market since. With the holidays approaching, the unwritten deadline should hopefully push Chaim Bloom into a deal, but there still does not seem to be anything close to happening just yet.
The lack of moves has allowed me some more time to peak deeper into the organization in some aspects, and that brought me to a potential issue that may not have a clear answer.
