St. Louis will let first baseman Paul Goldschmidt walk in free agency, according to various reports, but it's unclear what other moves the team will make. There has been speculation that high-priced veterans could be on the trade block with catcher Willson Contreras consistently being mentioned already.
Contreras signed an $87.5 million deal ahead of the 2023 season and has been very steady when he's been on the field over the last two years. It's unclear where he would land in the instance of a possible trade, but pretty much any team would be lucky to have Contreras. "I haven't listed many teams in this exercise, but when I think of Contreras, teams like the Mariners, , , , , , , and even the stick out as teams who could use a big bat added to their lineup. Contreras would have to approve any trade that happens, which in theory limits his value a bit, but I have a hard time believing the Cardinals couldn't get something nice in return for him.
