They could make headlines or bottom lines, a big splash or a small fix. The Cardinals explored a variety of deals that stretched from a franchise-altering move for budding superstar Juan Soto to the ones they made for steady starting pitchers who can fill innings potholes, at least. Within 30 minutes of Tuesday’s trade deadline, the Cardinals sent center fielder Harrison Bader to the New York Yankees for lefty Jordan Montgomery. He joins Jose Quintana as the two lefty starters the Cardinals acquired in 24 hours and will debut in the rotation during this homestand. At the deadline, the Cardinals got better than they were. They didn’t guarantee they’re as good as they need to be. John Mozeliak, president of baseball operations, agreed that the spectrum of outcomes given the deals attempted was “obviously large.” “You saw what we did vs. what was rumored we would have to do,” Mozeliak said. “It would have been a very different look. For us, trying to understand the calculus and how to think through that, I think we were prepared for that. But ultimately, it’s not the direction we went.” [/QUOTE]
