PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals
ANALYSIS: To the surprise of nearly everyone, the St. Louis Cardinals have struggled mightily this season and are currently nine games out of the 3rd wild card spot in the National League. This has led to reports of the Cardinals being sellers at the deadline which makes a ton of sense. This would also likely open up a spot for Masyn Winn to come up in August and start regularly over the last two months of the season.
Since May 23rd, Winn has slashed .324/.385/.525 in 226 plate appearances with 11 doubles, eight home runs, and five steals while only striking out 13.7% of the time. He's been especially impressive since July 8th with a .457/.510/.913 slash line and 12 extra-base hits in 10 games.
VERDICT: Winn has played both shortstop and second base this season and should be next in line if the Cardinals trade Paul DeJong or remove Nolan Gorman from everyday playing time at the keystone. The former is more likely as Gorman has shown signs of life at the plate since the all-star break.
