Amid difficulties in negotiations over a contract extension, St. Louis Cardinals' reliever Jordan Hicks has begun to draw interest on the trade market ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 1, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Hicks, 26, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and his agents have been in Phoenix to try and knock out a multi-year extension with the Cardinals. But there hasn't been much traction thus far.
It was reported earlier in the week that Hicks could likely be traded if an extension isn't completed ahead of the deadline.
