The Most Pressing Questions Surrounding The Cardinals Following The Matthew Liberatore Trade

You know we’re starved for Cardinals news when a trade in which the most prominent incoming player is a 20-year-old Low-A ball pitcher approaches break-the-internet level excitement. But Matthew Liberatore is no ordinary Low-A pitcher, so that’s exactly what happened Thursday when the Cardinals dealt two major leaguers and moved down in next year’s MLB Draft just to get him.

Throughout the offseason, the Cardinals have tried to reduce the redundancy in their outfield by exploring trades with teams that could give quality talent in return.
