The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to cut payroll as they embark on a significant organizational reset following years of mismanagement. President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak and Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. are prioritizing a competitive roster while addressing player development issues.

One potential move involves trading third baseman Nolan Arenado to the Boston Red Sox for designated hitter Masataka Yoshida. This trade could save the Cardinals $18.2 million and help rejuvenate their lineup.
