So, that happened!
The 2022 trade deadline was one of the craziest in recent memory and the Cardinals were as active as they’ve ever been.
It started with trading Edmundo Sosa to the Phillies for reliever JoJo Romero. That cleared the path for Paul DeJong to travel with the team. And for the possibility that someone like Nolan Gorman would move in a mega deal for the Nats’ Juan Soto.
It was that potential deal that dominated Cardinals chatter even though the primary need on the club was not in the outfield or lineup.
