A recent column from Last Word on Sports argues that the St. Louis Cardinals should move two productive players during the upcoming offseason. The piece, written by editor Andrew Willis and published on November 6, 2026, evaluates the roster following a June 28 victory over the Miami Marlins at Busch Stadium, where Alec Burleson and Blaze Jordan were seen congratulating pitcher Riley O'Brien.
The article does not name the specific players deemed expendable, but it highlights the organization's depth and the potential to acquire assets by dealing from positions of strength. The Cardinals' front office has historically been active in the trade market, and this offseason could see further reshaping as the team looks to balance its lineup and pitching staff.
