Changes on the Horizon for St. Louis Cardinals: All-Star Willson Contreras Expected to Stay

Attention all St. Louis Cardinals fans, there may be some major changes coming to your beloved team. However, fear not, as at least one All-Star player is expected to remain on the roster. According to MLB.com’s John Denton, the Cardinals are making plans for the upcoming trade deadline and it seems that catcher Willson Contreras is not going anywhere.

In an interview, Denton discussed the team’s deadline plans and specifically mentioned that Contreras has not shown any indication of waiving his no-trade clause. This is great news for Cardinals fans, as Contreras has been a key player for the team and his presence will be crucial for their success moving forward.

But what about the other players on the Cardinals’ roster? Denton suggests that relievers Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz are the most likely candidates to be traded. With their contracts expiring and the league facing a shortage of quality relievers, it makes sense for the Cardinals to explore potential trades for these players.

But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether the Cardinals will also consider dealing some of their star players, such as Nolan Arenado, Sonny Gray, and Miles Mikolas, to contenders in exchange for prospects. While nothing has been confirmed, it is certainly a possibility that the Cardinals will revisit this option as the trade deadline approaches.

So, Cardinals fans, buckle up and get ready for some potential changes to your team. But rest assured, at least one All-Star will be staying put and the Cardinals will continue to make strategic moves to improve their roster.
