Lars Nootbaar’s unexpected heel surgery is shaking up the Cardinals’ offseason trade plans. Instead of being a likely trade chip, Nootbaar’s recovery timeline is so uncertain that St. Louis is now planning to keep him around—at least for now. With the team hoping he’ll be ready for Spring Training, there’s a real question about how the outfield will shape up and which left-handed bat could be moved instead. This puts extra pressure on the front office to make the right call. What do you think—should the Cards play it safe with Noot or take a risk on another trade? #Sports #Baseball #STLCards
