The offseason is heating up, and the trade rumors are swirling! With the Cardinals reportedly looking to shed payroll and retool, the spotlight is on pitchers like Steven Matz and Erick Fedde. Matz, despite his struggles and injury history, still has the potential to be a valuable asset for a team willing to take a chance. On the other hand, Fedde is coming off a solid season and could be a more attractive option for teams looking to bolster their rotation without breaking the bank.
This brings us to some intriguing questions: Should the Cardinals hold onto Matz in hopes of a bounce-back season, or is it time to cut their losses and trade him for whatever they can get? And what about Fedde? Is he worth keeping as a potential cornerstone for the future, or should the Cardinals capitalize on his recent success and trade him while his value is high?
Let’s not forget the teams interested in these pitchers. The Guardians and Tigers are both in need of starting pitching, but are they the right fit for Matz and Fedde? What do you think these teams should offer in return?
And here’s a bold prediction: If Matz can stay healthy, he could be a key contributor for a contender, potentially leading to a surprising playoff run. But if he falters again, could this be the end of his time as a reliable starter in the league?
Join the conversation! What are your thoughts on the Cardinals' approach to their pitching staff? Should they be sellers or buyers this offseason? What do you think the future holds for Matz and Fedde?
