Cardinals Trade Nootbaar to Astros?

Thomas Carelli of SI has suggested a deal that would send Nootbaar to the Astros in exchange for Jacob Melton and AJ Blubaugh. The Cardinals, currently in fourth place in the NL Central, have depth to cover for Nootbaar's absence, which is expected to last 6-8 weeks.

While some argue trading Nootbaar now could benefit the Cardinals' long-term 3-year plan, others suggest waiting until the trade deadline would yield better value. The team has been playing well without Nootbaar, making a potential move more feasible. argolida.life
