MLB Insider Reports Cardinals' Top Priority Is Trading Closer At Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The St. Louis Cardinals entered this season with low expectations, and even though they are within striking distance of a playoff spot, the club is reportedly looking to move their closer, Ryan Helsley, before Thursday's deadline. According to Buster Olney of ESPN, the Cardinals have been in talks and are "devoted" to moving Helsley.

ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JULY 25: Ryan Helsley #56 of the St. Louis Cardinals delivers a pitch against the San Diego Padres in the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on July 25, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri. More Photo byHelsley has taken a step back in his production this season but still holds significant value on the trade market as one of the top relievers available. The right-hander is coming off a record-setting season where he saved 49 games to set the Cardinals' franchise record while also winning the National League Reliever of the Year award. This season has not been as profound for the Cardinals' closer, but he has saved 21 games thus far despite a rise in his WHIP and home runs per nine innings. Teams are calling on the Cardinals closer to see what the cost was, and after the Pittsburgh Pirates are reported to be asking for a top-five prospect for David Bednar, by Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, some of them may shift their primary focus to Helsley. Although the Cardinals could make a run at the final wild card spot, they are looking to put the team in the hands of Chaim Bloom next year with a clear evaluation of the talent. With Helsley possibly on his way out in free agency, the Cardinals could land something in return if they moved him by Thursday's deadline. If the Cardinals make a run after trading Helsley, it could look like a poor decision to move on from the reliever, but it would give Bloom the confidence in his team next season.

Astros Reportedly Revisiting Trade Talks For Cardinals Third Baseman
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. During the offseason, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Houston Astros came to an agreement that would have sent Nolan Arenado to the Astros, but the Cardinals' third baseman blocked the deal with his no-trade clause. With the trade deadline coming up on Thursday, MLB Insider Jon Morosi reported that the two teams have had discussions again, but there has been no traction just yet. DENVER, COLORADO - JULY 22: Nolan Arenado #28 of the St. Louis Cardinals hits into a fourth inning run-scoring ground out against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 22, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. DENVER, COLORADO - JULY 22: Nolan Arenado #28 of the St. Louis Cardinals hits into a fourth inning run-scoring ground out against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 22, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. Photo byThe Cardinals have been rumored since the offseason to be looking to move on from Arenado, but his no-trade clause and a high salary make it difficult to find a team that meets both requirements. The Cardinals were willing to send cash to help pay down Arenado's contract when the two teams were in discussions during the winter, but the decision to leave St. Louis is in the hands of their Gold Glove third baseman. Now that the Cardinals have seen what their team is this season and with a new regime taking control next year, there may be a higher inclination to move Arenado at the trade deadline. The Astros have been riddled with injuries this season, and with the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners breathing down their neck in the standings, they have to be active to try and fend them off. It is unclear whether the Cardinals will move Arenado, and his no-trade clause certainly limits the trade conversations that they have. If the Cardinals don't find a deal before Thursday's deadline, this will be a headlining topic in St. Louis during the winter.

Yankees Reportedly 'Interested' In Blockbuster Trade For Coveted $81M Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees have been on a roller coaster ride this season. They have a loaded roster, but they've struggled with injuries, most notably Aaron Judge's recent trip to the injured list. The trade deadline is approaching quickly, and the Yankees need to make some decisions. They're going to be buyers, as seen with their trades for Ryan McMahon and Amed Rosario, but it's unclear how aggressive they will be. If the Bronx Bombers are aggressive, there are a few names to acquire that could turn them back into World Series favorites. MLB's Mark Feinsand recently suggested the Yankees were interested in a trade for star St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley in the coming days. ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JULY 25: Ryan Helsley #56 of the St. Louis Cardinals delivers a pitch against the San Diego Padres in the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on July 25, 2025 in St... ST LOUIS, MISSOURI - JULY 25: Ryan Helsley #56 of the St. Louis Cardinals delivers a pitch against the San Diego Padres in the ninth inning at Busch Stadium on July 25, 2025 in St Louis, Missouri. More"Ryan Helsley is one of the most popular trade targets with no less than a half-dozen teams interested to varying degrees. Among the suitors, per sources, are the Yankees, (New York) Mets, (Los Angeles) Dodgers, (Philadelphia) Phillies, (Texas) Rangers, and (Toronto) Blue Jays," Feinsand wrote in a post to Twitter/X on Tuesday morning. The Yankees have seemingly preferred to hold onto prospects rather than swing big trades. The decision to go after McMahon rather than pay the prospect capital to acquire Eugenio Suárez suggests as much. If the Yankees are willing to go all in for this year, a deal for the expiring Helsley would work. Helsley is set to hit free agency at the end of the year, where Spotrac projects him to sign for $81 million. This would be a shocking move for the Yankees to make, but it would certainly move the needle. Keep an eye on the Bronx Bombers in the coming days.

Andre Pallante allows 1 hit in 7 innings as Cardinals beat Marlins 7-1
ST. LOUIS — Andre Pallante allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins 7-1 on Monday night. Andre Pallante allows 1 hit in 7 innings as Cardinals beat Marlins 7-1 Pallante retired the first 10 batters before walking Jesús Sánchez in the fourth. Graham Pauley singled in the sixth for the Marlins' lone hit against the St. Louis right-hander. Pallante struck out four, walked one and threw 49 of his 81 pitches for strikes. Alec Burleson hit his 14th homer this season and second in as many games for the Cardinals, a 411-foot drive to center in the third inning off a 97 mph fastball from Edward Cabrera Cabrera allowed a pair of runs on three hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked three. Steven Matz allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth and Matt Svanson allowed a walk and a pair of hits, including an RBI single by Agustín Ramírez, in the ninth. Miami dropped its second straight game after having a four-game winning streak end on Sunday. Yohel Pozo made it 2-0 in the fourth when he doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored when Ramírez's throw sailed past third baseman Pauley. The Cardinals broke it open with a five-run seventh. Burleson drove in a run by reaching on a bases-loaded catcher's interference, Masyn Winn followed with a three-run double and Jordan Walker drove in Winn with a double. Pauley lined Pallante's 94 mph fastball into right field leading off the sixth to end the no-hit bid. Pallante had gone 0-3 with a 9.76 ERA in his previous three starts, giving up eight or more hits each time.
