Why the Cardinals must avoid a panic trade at the deadline

St. Louis Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak has indicated the Cardinals' situation remains "fluid" as the trade deadline approaches. But that doesn't mean Mozeliak needs to make a panic move to find the perfect deal for the club.

This will be Mozeliak's final deadline as president of baseball operations. Messing this deadline up could tarnish his reputation and make things extremely difficult for incoming president of baseball operations, Chaim Bloom.

The Cardinals could make things even harder for Chaim Bloom with a poor trade deadline

The team is reportedly shopping Phil Maton, Steven Matz, Ryan Helsley, and Erick Fedde due to expiring contracts at the end of the season.
