Younger players have more opportunities to prove themselves and show that they can be a part of the team's future core.
However, it remaiins to be seen what they will do at the trade deadline this coming summer. There are a lot of different possibilities for them to explore as they focus on the long-term goals. , a fan brought up the possibility of a trade for Minnesota Twins' ace Joe Ryan, but Guerrero seemed to pour some cold water on the idea.
"Part of a rebuild is making sure you have clear answers on the core pieces you have for the long-term that you can build around. I think any possible move you make has to consider the long-term," Guerrero wrote on Monday.
"I don’t think you start flipping prospects or young players for players with short-term control if you aren’t already in that contending window or on the brink of it, or if you are absolutely sure that you can lock up the player you are acquiring to keep him within the organization for when that window is expected to be clearly open.

Based on where they are in the standings, that could always change, but the Cardinals still seem to be focused on the bigger picture, and that is where their focus belongs.and which players to build around.
Simply trading top prospects for a short-term rental goes against what Chaim Bloom has been talking about for the past several months, and he has made clear that he wants to stick to the plan rather than deviate from it. It will be interesting to see what type of approach the Cardinals take, but fans shouldn't get their hopes up about a potential trade for Joe Ryan.
While he would make the team better, it doesn't necessarily benefit them in the long-term, which ultimately makes a trade for him highly unlikely. Loading recommendations...
