Yankees, Cardinals Consider Offseason Trades

The New York Yankees are facing a potential outfield logjam if they successfully re-sign Juan Soto, with Aaron Judge and top prospect Jasson Dominguez also in the mix. This situation has made 23-year-old Spencer Jones, the Yankees' No. 2 prospect, a likely trade candidate this offseason, especially after underwhelming performance stats from Double-A. The Yankees are also exploring trades to bolster their infield, with Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India being a potential target as they prepare for a busy offseason. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals are planning a rebuilding phase but are still considering roster upgrades, including potential trades for starting pitchers and possibly acquiring Spencer Jones from the Yankees. As the Cardinals look to balance their payroll and improve their farm system, they may seek low-risk, high-reward players to enhance their rotation. The trade market dynamics may shift based on postseason outcomes and the Yankees' decisions on their current roster.
