The St. Louis Cardinals clawed back with a win over the Angels after a four-game skid, but their season has been defined by shaky pitching and a struggling offense. Fans hoped for a bullpen upgrade at the trade deadline, but MLB.com’s Brenden Schaeffer says that’s not in the cards — this team is built to sell, not buy. With key pitchers like Ryne Stanek, JoJo Romero, and even All-Star closer Riley OBrien potentially on the move, the Cardinals are focused on the future, not contending now. While rebuilding teams often flirt with buying, the Cardinals’ identity remains clear: they’re subtracting talent for prospects, and with fewer sellers this year, they could be poised for smart, impactful trades.
