The St. Louis Cardinals have made plenty of trades in recent years. Some have been good (i.e. Nolan Arenado), some have been even (i.e. Randy Arozarena for Matthew Liberatore), and some have been bad (i.e. Marcel Ozuna). Still, I am not writing this article to bash John Mozeliak and Co. Whatever your opinions about the team’s front office, it has put a good team on the field and has been aggressive on the trade market, bringing Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt to St. Louis.
It takes talent to get talent on the trade market. The Cardinals have certainly messed up sometimes, but that is to be expected.
