MLB Opening Day 2016: St. Louis Cardinals preview

The Cardinals were baseball's best team in 2015, but will they compete in a top-heavy NL Central this season?

Last year, the St. Louis Cardinals were the league's best team during the regular season, winning 100 games and capturing the NL Central crown. Their season was cut short in the NLDS, however, as they ran into Jake Arrieta and the resurgent Chicago Cubs and were eliminated after losing the best-of-five series 3-1.

The Cardinals set their sights high heading into the offseason and set out to re-sign their star outfielder Jason Heyward as well as pursuing the top free agent starter on the market in David Price.
