As we all know by now, the St. Louis Cardinals have issues with their current roster. The top end of the rotation is wildly inconsistent, they just lost their closer, and they don’t hit. Some of these issues will have to work themselves out internally or just with time. However, some of these issues could be addressed with a trade or trades.
Some of the trade rumors attached to the Cardinals have been with players like the Giants Madison Bumgarner and Will Smith, or the Blue Jays Marcus Stroman. In a recent piece at Redbird Rants, my fellow Contributor, Joshua Magee, brought up Ken Giles of the Blue Jays.
