So the Cardinals just traded for Marcell Ozuna for Sandy Alcantara, Magneuris Sierra, and two others and still held on to Luke Weaver, Alex Reyes, Jack Flaherty, Carson Kelly, Jordan Hicks, and the entire major league roster. We know they still have the firepower to trade for another player or two with prospects should they so desire. What about payroll?
Since the offseason ended, the team has added a few contracts by signing Miles Mikolas and Luke Gregerson to add some depth to the starting rotation and the bullpen.
