Seattle needs position players, Cards have an abundance.The St. Louis Cardinals have several young position players which they can move in order to add to their pitching depth. Lars Nootbar, Logan Gorman and Dylan Carlson are all young players with high value who would fetch a good player in return. The Seattle Mariners, on the other hand, have pitchers like Walter Ford, Emerson Hancock and Logan Gilbert, who are all pitchers that will interest any team in the league.However, the Mariners have made it clear that George Kirby is not among the pitchers that are available for a trade. Still, that leaves several names which may interest the Cardinals. The name which has fans the most excited is Logan Gilbert and a move for him would indeed be a sensible one for St. Louis. However, while only time will tell what unfolds this month, fans have no shortage of opinions on social media.&quot;Nootbar, Gorman and Carlson are trade pieces. Keep Donovan, Edman and Walker,&quot; wrote one fan on Twitter. &quot;Logan Gilbert come on down,&quot; added another.Rumors suggest a major shakeup for the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of deadline dayThe next three weeks will be crucial for MLB teams to decide what their rosters will look like in the second half of the season. With many rumors flying around, one is concerning the St. Louis Cardinals being keen on a firesale to replace a large portion of the squad. While talks with the Seattle Mariners may be ongoing in the search for young pitchers, there may be more changes in store for the St. Louis outfit.
