| 12/04/24 | Cardinals Urged To Trade Steven Matz To AL West Rival Poised For Payroll Increase.

| 10/29/24 | Could A's, St. Louis Cardinals connect on this offseason trade?. The A's will be looking to make some upgrades this offseason after a 19-win improvement over their awful 2023 season, but the hard part for the club will be enticing anyone to come play for them in a minor league facility in Sacramento. Now, it's not very often that the A's are the team taking on money in a salary dump, but this winter the front office is going to have to get creative. Steven Matz is currently slotted in as the Cardinals' No. 5 starter over at Roster Resource, and before long he could give way to No. 3 prospect Quinn Matthews, a lefty that just mowed down all levels of the minor leagues in his first season in pro ball.

St. Louis has shown this season that it can compete for a playoff spot but adding another depth starter would make things significantly easier.

In the meantime, the club has had to fill the vacancy with spot starters. If the Cardinals are serious about contending this year, they'll need to trade for another starting pitcher and recent speculation links St. Louis with a candidate who could make a difference. Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde was recently mentioned as an option the Cardinals could target at the July 30 trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Jim Bowden on Thursday.
