Perhaps this would be a headline best suited for an end of the season article but I can’t help but write it now. Every time I watch Jose Quintana and Jordan Montgomery pitch, I can’t stop myself from thinking the Cardinals won the trade deadline.
That’s a weird sentence to write. The Cardinals don’t usually win the trade deadline, unless you call trading for Jon Lester and J.A. Happ a win (I don’t). But that’s what the Cardinals usually do. They make low key moves to try and fill gaps without giving up too much.
If they have any big moves in store, those usually come at the end of the season.
