The Cardinals Should Turn Towards Prospects, Not Outside Acquisitions

In recent years the Cardinals have seen a number of high profile acquisitions enter the team, as well as some prospects. For a team that traditionally values homegrown players, however, there have been a larger than expected number of blockbuster trades and signings. These include the trades for Marcell Ozuna and Paul Goldschmidt, as well as the signings of Dexter Fowler, Brett Cecil, Andrew Miller, and even Greg Holland.

It is interesting to see how the Cardinals have been seemingly increasingly more willing to splash the cash on relievers in free agency or trade a large amount of good prospects for a big bat.
