MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Could Jarren Duran, Mitch Keller, and Eugenio Suarez Become the Game-Changers?
As for Melton, don’t be fooled by his struggles Wednesday in his major-league debut; he’s still a pitching prospect trending up in a big way. Melton is exactly the kind of upper-level arm worth targeting for a St. Louis club with immense uncertainty on the mound beyond this season. He’s a talented and sturdy right-hander who has made meaningful strides this season and would be in great position to compete for a rotation spot next spring after a full season in Triple-A.
Anderson is an unremarkable defender at second base but has raked in Double-A this season, posting a 158 wRC+ that ranks fourth among qualified hitters at the level. He’s not good enough to be a headliner — and it’s possible St. Louis would try to add as many arms as possible, rather than more bats — but he’s another solid prospect who could debut in the next year-or-so. — Shusterman
