Here’s what the St. Louis Cardinals should do at or before the July 31 trade deadline: Nothing.
Just three games out of first, the Redbirds would typically be buyers, willing to deal a prospect or two for a competent pitcher. That’s the normal course of action for teams in their position. But who among us believes that John Mozeliak will make the right trade for the right price, bringing in someone who will actually make a pennant-run difference?
This isn’t to pile on Mo, who has been eviscerated on air and in print for his recent string of substandard swaps.
