The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly considering a trade for New York Yankees infielder Anthony Volpe. Despite the Cardinals' need for infield help, sources suggest acquiring Volpe, who has been solid but not exceptional, would be a mistake. His recent performance raised concerns, revealing a low OPS over the past two seasons. With other options available, including retaining Masyn Winn at shortstop, many believe the Cardinals should refrain from pursuing this trade, questioning the overall benefit and cost of such an acquisition.
