And while the Cardinals could target another starter before the 6 pm trade deadline Tuesday, their main focus is on the darling of the deadline, Washington outfielder Juan Soto, who could be traded to the Cardinals, San Diego Padres or Los Angeles Dodgers &#8212; or remain with the Nationals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9:43 PM ET Jeff PassanESPN Close ESPN MLB insiderAuthor of &#8220;The Arm: Inside the Billion-Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports&#8221; Badly in need of a starting pitcher, the St. Louis Cardinals are finalizing a deal to acquire left-hander Jose Quintana from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources familiar with the agreement told ESPN on &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/sources-st-louis-cardinals-finalizing-deal-for-jose-quintana-of-pittsburgh-pirates\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sources &#8212; St.  Louis Cardinals finalizing deal for Jose Quintana of Pittsburgh Pirates<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[6],"tags":[4086,661,46,3440,2502],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":33066,"url":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/cardinals-patch-gaps-in-pitching-staff-acquire-jose-quintana-chris-stratton-from-pirates-st-louis-cardinals\/","url_meta":{"origin":32731,"position":0},"title":"Cardinals patch gaps in pitching staff, acquire Jose Quintana, Chris Stratton from Pirates |  st.
