Its basically just a list of teams that can possibly swing the deal and for whatever reason they put Cardinals in the title.
There's another article going around that supposedly asked 17 MLB executives who they believed were the top landing spots and the list is like 13 teams long with the Padres and Dodgers as the highest responses with 8 and 7 votes. Cardinals and Mets had 3 votes. Bunch of other teams had a random number of responses. In other words, no one has heard a ****ing thing about anything legit and its all just speculative click bait bullshit.

The Padres are probably the biggest concern for me.
Extremely aggressive GM and they have some very nice pieces. Hassell would be pretty near Walker in terms of long-term upside. They'd need to believe that Campusano can play 1b, though - they have Ruiz and I think he's a better defender. Can Campusano's bat profile at 1b? As a legitimate asset, I mean; not a placeholder.
What would have to swing it is almost certainly Abrams and Gore. The Nationals would have to have faith in those guys previous status as being more representative of who they can be.
And if they do - Abrams, Gore, Hassell and Campusano would be a REALLY tough package to top. But if Abrams and Gore don't trip their trigger, I don't see anyone else in that system that's going to turn anyone's head.
