Earlier today it was reported that the Cardinals had finally made an offseason splash. Just a short while after twelve central time, it seemed that the Cardinals had a deal in place for Marlins slugger Marcell Ozuna. Although all of the pieces involved in the trade are unknown as I write this, it is widely accepted that prospect Sandy Alcantra is the main piece of the deal.
Back in October, I wrote a piece examining the possibility of trading for Ozuna. At the time, the Stanton trade was on the table as well.
