Cardinals Eye Casey Mize at Deadline | St. Louis News

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a pivotal spot with a winning record and a wild card berth, despite trading key players—now they face a high-stakes August deadline decision: go all in, stay the course, or trade veterans for future assets. Pitching depth, especially in the rotation and bullpen, is the most logical target. Casey Mize, Detroit’s injury-riddled but dominant ace (2.64 ERA, 10 Ks in his last start), is a top name with a 60% trade likelihood. A mid-tier prospect for him could be a steal, especially since he’s only under contract for this year and could become a free agent later. At 29, Mize—once the 1 overall pick—is primed to be the missing piece the Cardinals need to turn their season into a deep playoff run.
