MLB Teams Strategize Key Roster Changes

The St. Louis Cardinals are facing significant roster changes, with the potential departure of star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who is entering free agency. The team is likely entering a rebuilding phase, with suggestions to trade key players like Willson Contreras and Ryan Helsley to lower payroll and acquire prospects. Meanwhile, the New York Mets, after a promising 2024 season, are focusing on key offseason decisions, including potentially trading Brett Baty for pitching reinforcements. The Chicago Cubs are eyeing realistic free agent signings to bolster their roster, with catching options like Danny Jansen being considered. Finally, the Detroit Tigers, transitioning out of a rebuild, are looking to enhance their lineup with free agents who have performed well at Comerica Park, such as Paul Goldschmidt and Donovan Solano.
