How the Marcell Ozuna trade impacts the Rays talks with Cardinals

Related Topics: Marcell Ozuna

The Cardinals have just acquired the Marlins’ OF Marcel Ozuna per Craig Mish:

The St. Louis Cardinals have around 8 right-handed outfielders, and Danny Russell outlined the ones the Rays’ could be interested in. With the Ozuna trade, the Cardinals now have nine right-handed outfielders, and will surely be looking to unload those bats to another team. Could that team be the Rays?

Possibly, it all depends on what the return is for the Marlins, who according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, are looking for pitching.

The #Marlins need pitching and the #Stlcards have plenty of it with talks focusing on Flaherty and Alcantara this week

Joel Sherman is reporting something similar, only naming Harrison Bader of the trade targets we highlighted this morning.
