Cardinals' Steven Matz Drawing Trade Interest as Deadline Approaches

St. Louis Cardinals lefty Steven Matz, 34, is reportedly generating interest from other teams as the trade deadline nears. Despite the Cardinals being in the postseason race, Matz has had a terrific season serving as a multi-inning reliever, effectively limiting walks and hard contact. He has demonstrated consistent performance by recording at least four outs in 21 of his 28 appearances and at least five outs 16 times. Matz is in the final year of his four-year, $44 million contract, with approximately $4 million still owed after the trade deadline.
