The Cardinals’ rich farm system has helped GM John Mozeliak avoid searching for rotation help at recent deadlines. That has changed, with Jaime Garcia’s season-ending surgery and Michael Wacha’s indefinite absence due to shoulder trouble. The Cardinals have a number of outfield prospects (Oscar Taveras, Randal Grichuk, Stephen Piscotty) and could afford to give up hard-throwing Carlos Martinez if it meant landing Price.
Rays infielder Sean Rodriguez also would fit the St. Louis roster, creating the possibility of an expanded deal that would make the Cardinals more comfortable giving up the prospects. (The A’s, for example, wouldn’t have traded Russell unless it meant getting Samardzija and Hammel.)
