The St. Louis Cardinals, in short, are loaded with young talent in the minor leagues. They seemingly have enough outfielders to stock the minor league systems of the entire division and arms to match. Minor leaguers Ryan Helsley, Luke Voit, Patrick Wisdom, Dakota Hudson, Tyler O’Neill, Austin Gomber, Oscar Mercado, and more could and have been mentioned in trade rumors over the last year. Even MLB players like Kolten Wong and Luke Weaver could be moved.
The Cardinals, even with their woes in seemingly simple things (base running), they are possibly one or two players plugged into the right holes away from becoming a legitimate world series threat.
