Get Ready To Welcome Back Marcell Ozuna

Reports from the free-agent Hot Stove, plus recent outfield moves by the St. Louis Cardinals, make it more likely than ever that Marcell Ozuna will return for at least one more year.

Free Agent Spotlight: Lefty Outfielders

When I posted my spotlight on Marcell Ozuna, I was expecting more agreement with my conclusion, which is that I would be good with Ozuna signing a reasonable and short extension with the team. I have frequently found myself out of lockstep with the fanbase on resigning Ozuna (I wasn’t for it), but since his playoff performance is getting more distant, people seem less reactionary about resigning him. Instead, most people (at least in the comments) didn’t want to resign him. And I totally get it.

The Cardinals Can't Afford To Be Patient

The Cardinals are in the position of being a solid overall team, yet a team that needs to improve in order to be a true World Series contender. They are likely in good position to make the postseason in 2020 with their current roster, but they need improvements if they want anything more than that. Nonetheless, with an already good lineup and decent depth accompanied by a self-imposed budget limit, it appears that it will be challenging for the Cardinals to substantially improve.
