6/21/25	MLB Insider Reveals Cardinals' Head-Scratching Lars Nootbaar Plan. Why have the St. Louis Cardinals stuck with Lars Nootbaar as an everyday player this season? It's a question that Cardinals fans have been wondering as they've watched Nootbaar's hot start to the season turn frigid, giving him a slash line of .229/.335/.371/.706 entering Saturday. Nootbaar is in the middle of a career-worst slump, but St. Louis needs to see if he can get out of it. In other words, the Cardinals are prioritizing gaining intel on Nootbaar (intel they'll need for future roster decisions) over the desperation to win now.

On Tuesday, insider Jim Bowden of The Athletic named Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar as a potential Royals trade target this summer, as the 27-year-old has two-and-a-half years of team control remaining. "The Royals rank last in MLB in home runs and need to add power and length to their lineup," Bowden wrote. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/cardinals-could...
