Could Kolten Wong end up being traded?

Earlier, I made the case for keeping David Freese (along with Matt Carpenter and Kolten Wong).  In his chat today, Jeff Gordon backed me up, indicating that Matt Carpenter is probably the Cardinals long-term second baseman and that the Cards are unlikely to trade Freese.  However, he surprised me a bit by indicating that Wong is expendable.  Here's Gordon's quote: ...
