The St Louis Cardinals could use a fourth outfielder, but should stay away from the recently released Adam Eaton.

In 2016, when the Chicago White Sox were looking to trade outfielder Adam Eaton, the St. Louis Cardinals were heavily connected. The White Sox sought a young catcher as they looked to continue with their rebuild and the Cardinals possessed Carson Kelly, a talented young catcher, in their farm system.

The White Sox, of course, traded Eaton to the Washington Nationals for Lucas Giolito.
