We hope the New York Yankees continue to have interest in Dylan Carlson

I say this all the time, I like Dylan Carlson a lot. I would love for him to remain in the Cardinals outfield. But if they are not going to play him, they need to get value for him.

If a deal with the Orioles is not there, links between the Yankees and Carlson continue to be. The Yankees have a lot of pitching depth in their system that could help this pitching overhaul the Cardinals are doing, which makes them a great trade partner for St. Louis.

Clayton Beeter and Randy Vasquez are the two names most commonly linked, but in a deal for Carlson, the Cardinals may be able to shoot even higher for guys like Clarke Schmidt or Drew Thorpe.
