The St. Louis Cardinals have made some bold moves this offseason, notably opting not to bring in any new players from outside the organization. Instead, they are shifting Willson Contreras to first base and promoting Ivan Herrera to catcher. This raises some intriguing questions about their strategy moving forward.

Is this a sign of confidence in their current roster, or a gamble that could backfire? With Herrera's impressive on-base percentage, could this be a hidden gem that compensates for the loss of Paul Goldschmidt?

Moreover, the rumors swirling around a potential Nolan Arenado trade add another layer of complexity. If Arenado is indeed on the move, what does that mean for the Cardinals' chances this season? Are they in a rebuilding phase, or are they simply looking to shake things up for a stronger push in the future?

Let’s discuss! What are your thoughts on the Cardinals' offseason strategy? Do you think they are making a wise decision by sticking with their current players, or should they have pursued external talent? And if Arenado is traded, what impact do you foresee on the team's performance? Share your predictions and insights!
