6/06/25 | Cardinals Urged To Trade Breakout Star Pitcher. The St. Louis Cardinals seemed primed to rebuild this season which would have seen them trading away a lot of their expiring assets while holding onto their controllable players. Curt Bishop of Redbird Rants recently made the case that the Cardinals should entertain the idea of trading breakout reliever Phil Maton this season. Not to the degree that they would if Helsley were to be traded, but it could still be solid. Better yet, Maton could be used to help the Cardinals upgrade other areas of their roster, such as the starting rotation. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/st-louis-cardinal... |

Scott Plaza of Redbird Rants listed reliever Phil Maton, their only free agent signing as somebody who could be traded. "I have to be careful citing an important bullpen piece as "expendable", but in the case of Phil Maton, he seems to be an option to be dealt, whether the Cardinals are competing or not," Plaza wrote.

4/09/25 | Cardinals 'Lineup Is Scary' Says Rising Star After Overwhelming Pirates' Paul Skenes. The St. Louis Cardinals didn't make any moves to bolster their lineup over the offseason but have emerged as one of the league's top offenses to begin 2025. If it weren't for the Cardinals' underperforming pitching staff, which only received one upgrade in veteran right-handed pitcher Phil Maton this past winter, St. Louis would easily be sitting at the top of the National League Central. Instead, the first-place Chicago Cubs hold a 2 1/2 game lead over the 5-6 record 11-time World Series champions. Tuesday night's 5-3 victory over the division-foe Pittsburgh Pirates was a testament to how dominant this year's Cardinals lineup could be -- handing phenom ace Paul Skenes his first loss of the season.
