St. Louis Cardinals Closer Ryan Helsley Could Be a Hot Commodity at MLB Trade Deadline
St. Louis Cardinals closer and reigning AL Reliever of the Year Ryan Helsley has been dominating the headlines as the MLB trade deadline on July 31 approaches. Despite the Cardinals still being in the NL Wild Card race, many believe that they will be sellers in this year’s trading festivities. And with Helsley unlikely to re-sign with the Red Birds after this season, a trade for the talented starter is highly likely.
Could Helsley Find a New Home with the Los Angeles Dodgers?
According to Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter, Helsley led the NL with 49 saves last season and finished ninth in NL Cy Young balloting. With an impressive 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 10.7 K/9, he is a highly sought-after player in the trade market. And according to Zach Pressnell from St. Louis Cardinals, the best destination for Helsley could be with the reigning World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers Could Benefit from Helsley’s Talents
The Dodgers are known for being aggressive at the trade deadline and are open to acquiring top talent. With their bullpen currently struggling due to injuries, Helsley could fill a huge hole in their roster. As Pressnell points out, the Dodgers have yet to find a reliable closer since Kenley Jansen’s departure in 2021. Adding Helsley, a flamethrower with a devastating breaking ball and a cool demeanor in high-stress situations, could be just what the team needs to revisit Jansen’s prime years.
