These are trades every general manager would love to make -- at least, in terms of the bottom line. That is, trades that do more than simply give a team a push. These trades won the World Series, or at least made winning it possible.

The Cardinals Should Consider Andrew Miller
The 2016 Cardinals lost yet another game last night due to their bullpen being unable to protect a lead. This has become an unfortunate theme 84 games into the season. Sure, the offense squandered some chances to score more than five runs, but five runs should be enough to win the game. More important than the game outcome, though, the Cardinals potentially lost Matt Carpenter for an extended period of time, and should this be the case, there is no way a trade for the pitcher named in the title of this post will occur.

There's No Catch: Jason Motte Can Close
Recently demoted to High-A Palm Beach, as if he had never left, Cardinals farmhand Jason Motte sat in the visitors’ clubhouse at the Phillies’ complex in Clearwater, Fla., and readied for batting practice. It was early May 2006 and while hitting had become an anchor, marooning him in the low minors, there was always the chance that today his average, limp at .133, stirred.

Opening Up A Cardinals 40-Man Roster Spot
Let’s assume that the St. Louis Cardinals, weary from a hard-fought series against Cincinnati and coming off a 13-inning contest on Wednesday, need fresh arms. With four straight games immediately ahead against Kirk Gibson’s resurgent Arizona Diamondbacks, let’s assume that right-hander P.J. Walters is returned to the 40-man and 25-man active rosters.
