According to ESPN and Sportsnation reporters,
Roy Oswalt could be heading to St. Louis Cardinals as a possible team still in this year's National League Centrals' race 1.5 game ahead of the Cincinnati Reds. The MLB is a grueling season and anything can happen. Currently St. Louis sits on a 56.2 winning percentage, a 54-42 record. With about 66 more games left in the regular season in order to hold the spot adding an ACE starting pitcher would solidify St. Louis' chances to head on to possibly face the San Diego Padres, of course if San Diego is to hold their lead in the National league west in a #2 vs. #3 matchup. St Louis has a great chance to head to the World Series with a starting pitching staff with Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, and Jaime Garcia along with Roy Oswalt if he gets thrown into the mix.
One thing to worry about is the long term plans that St. Louis organization would do about securing Chris Carpenter or maybe giving Albert Pujols a shorter contract extension because Roy Oswalt asks for such as hefty price with Oswalt demanding the team he would be traded to pick up $32 million for the next 2 seasons.
