Despite trade rumors, the Cardinals are advised to keep the $75 million star.
This winter, will the Cardinals deal their All-Star pitcher?

Major League Baseball has already seen a great deal of conjecture around potential transactions.

Nothing can occur at the major league level at this time. Nothing can happen until this winter, and the postseason is still ongoing. Once the league can start to move, the St. Louis Cardinals will be a team to keep an eye on.

According to reports, the Cardinals may be willing to trade veterans this winter in order to reduce payroll. Despite having a no-trade clause, Sonny Gray’s name has been mentioned as a trade option.

Although it’s too soon to tell, it appears like at least talks regarding a trade will take place this winter. SportsGrid advised the team to retain Gray despite this.

“The Cardinals finished 20th in ERA (4.33) and 23rd in opponent batting average (.249), so Gray’s presence is vital. Instead of cutting costs, they should focus on strengthening their rotation around Gray.”

Gray will be entering the second year of a three-year, $75 million deal and certainly gave the Cardinals everything they could’ve wanted in 2024. St. Louis spent last offseason rebuilding the rotation. Why trade their best pitcher now.
