St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Alec Burleson and Dylan Carlson are the two names being most discussed by the club in trade talks following their deal of Paul DeJong to the Toronto Blue Jays. It was been widely known the Cardinals are full-blown sellers amidst a disappointing season while the club has also shipped left-hander Jordan Montgomery to the Texas Rangers and reliever Jordan Hicks to the Blue Jays. Both Burleson and Carlson have multiple years of club control attached to them, meaning a return for the young outfielders would need to be rather significant. Burleson, 24, is hitting .239 with six homers and a .685 OPS in 74 games while Carlson, also 24, is hitting .230 with five homers, three stolen bases, and a .673 OPS across 69 contests on the campaign.
