At 21-15, they are in the mix for first place in the NL Central and currently own the second Wild Card spot. There's plenty of time between now and the trade deadline, but the Cardinals could be surprise buyers if they really feel contention is possible. FanSided's Zachary Rotman wrote on Wednesday that St.
Louis should be giving the struggling Houston Astros a call about one of their relievers who was a member of the 2022 World Series champion team. "Riley O'Brien's emergence as a lockdown closer has been very fun to watch, but who else from this bullpen do you trust? JoJo Romero is fine, and Gordon Graceffo has been a pleasant surprise, but for the most part, it's hard to trust anyone other than O'Brien," Rotman wrote.
