The St. Louis Cardinals were sellers at the trade deadline this year. They traded all four pitchers on expiring contracts, those being Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, Steven Matz and Erick Fedde. The team seems to have finally picked a direction. Instead of trying to contend in the next few years, they have chosen to fully commit to a rebuild.

A trade of Phil Maton is expected to be the Cardinals' final move of the deadline, meaning St. Louis will hold onto Brendan Donovan, Lars Nootbaar, and others.
