The Winter Meetings came to a close without much tangible evidence of a rebuild for the St. Louis Cardinals, but we can only hope that the framework for some future deals have been laid out. The only finalized trade to this point has been sending Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox, leaving a wide-open spot in the starting rotation.
Kyle Leahy, Gordon Graceffo, and Tink Hence may be working through role changes next season.
Kyle Leahy, who was one of the Cardinals' most reliable relievers last season, was seen as a candidate to move to the rotation at times last season thanks to his ability to work multiple innings with a starter's repertoire.
