The St. Louis Cardinals sit at 20-19, which is a bit better than a lot of experts predicted the Cardinals would sit through 39 games.

He slashed .262/.327/.451 over that time period before he ended up with the Atlanta Braves. Since joining the Braves, Ozuna has been one of the better sluggers in baseball.

5 days ago | si.com | Zach Pressnell

The St. Louis Cardinals are seemingly looking to trade some pieces off their team this year, but that doesn't mean they need to blow the roster up. This means they could trade some expiring pieces, most notably Erick Fedde, while keeping anybody with more than a year of team control.
