The Cardinals are not expected to exercise their options on veteran righty Lynn or reliever Middleton, as they're likely focusing on retaining Kyle Gibson instead.
Woo indicates that if the Cardinals choose to keep Gibson, they will likely trade either Mikolas or Matz, though Matz is seen as the more tradable asset.
Despite Matz's disappointing season with a 5.08 ERA, the rising prices in the starting pitching market may enhance his trade value with one year left on his contract.
