Over the offseason, the Cardinals are very likely to trade multiple players currently on their 40 man roster. They simply have too much team control among their position players and hitting prospects in the high minors. Position players on the 40 man who have at least 4 years of team control in the system include: Luken Baker, Alec Burleson, Brendan Donovan, Jose Fermin, Nolan Gorman, Moises Gomez, Lars Nootbaar, Jordan Walker, and Masyn Winn. That does not include high minors prospects Cesar Prieto, Thomas Saggase, or Victor Scott II, all of whom should be in AAA next year. Or Nolan Arenado, under contract for four years himself.
