There's a chance that the St. Louis Cardinals don't make as many big subtractions to the roster as initially expected. St. Louis already has made one big announcement by saying that Willson Contreras will be the team's first baseman in 2025.

First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is likely a goner in free agency, and a pair of fellow former All-Stars could be joining him on the way out. Perhaps St. Louis could take advantage of the Yankees' desperation to win a championship and package them both in a blockbuster trade.
