The St. Lous Cardinals continue to dismantle their team. Sure it might feel like a necessary move considering the Cardinals have missed the playoffs the last three years and their best finish in that span was an 83-79 record, ten games back in the NL Central Division and six games out of a Wild Card spot.
Already this offseason the Cardinals have moved Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras and their latest move was a shocking trade of 35-year-old third baseman Nolan Arenado to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arenado, a potential future Hall of Famer, has long been rumored to be on the trade block.
