St. Louis Cardinals Trade Deadline Tracker 2023: Latest updates, major moves, and more

The St. Louis Cardinals have been extensively embroiled in trade rumors in the lead-up to the MLB's Aug. 1 trade deadline, but a recent comment from President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak may put an end to such speculation.

That would be the St. Louis Cardinals.
