The Cardinals clawed back with a vital 1-0 win over the Angels, ending a four-game skid and staying just half a game out of the NL wild-card race with a 52-49 record. After a shaky stretch post-All-Star break, their playoff hopes hang in the balance as the trade deadline looms — and with a rebuild on the horizon, they may pivot to sellers if they falter. Their biggest need? Pitching — they rank 16th in ERA at 4.01. A realistic target? 27-year-old Reid Detmers, who’s posted a 4.16 ERA over 100+ innings, strikes out batters, limits walks and homers, and has two more years left on his deal. Trading with GM John Mozeliak could be key — and Detmers might be the perfect fit to keep their long-term vision intact.
