The St. Louis Cardinals are poised to be the center of attention as the MLB trade deadline approaches, with implications for both buyers and sellers. An MLB executive noted their significance, stating that the Cardinals possess several attractive players who could be on the market.

Among the potential trade candidates are All-Stars like Nolan Arenado and promising pitchers like Sonny Gray and Miles Mikolas. However, with the Cardinals just a game out of the NL Wild Card race, they might also choose to buy, impacting the availability of key players in the market.
