Harrison Bader optioned to Memphis, Stephen Piscotty returns from DL

by Steve Dunford

The only roster move the Cardinals made at this trade deadline is optioning CF Harrison Bader to Memphis and RF Stephen Piscotty, will be activated from the disabled list.

Lance Lynn, who will be a free agent at years end, was on the radar as the most likely Cardinal to be traded.  Deals sending Oakland pitcher Sonny Gray to the Yankees and sending Yu Darvish to the Dodgers were the two biggest deals of the day.  Both teams were targeting Lynn.

It was rumored that outfielders Tommy Pham and Randall Grichuk were likely to be dealt.  Other players mentioned in possible trade talks were one of three left-handed relief pitchers Kevin Siegrist, Tyler Lyons, and Zack Duke.

It was also mentioned by sources that 3B Jedd Gyroko, and 2B Kolten Wong could be packaged with Lynn in the right deal.

The strongest rumors the Cardinals would be in on one of the Miami Marlins outfielders, Gincarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, or Christian Yelich.

Any statements from the ball club will be linked to this post.
