The Cardinals have a lot of question marks going into 2018. The infield is a bit more set in stone, while the outfield is complicated and involves a lot of movable pieces. Tommy Pham, Stephen Piscotty, Randal Grichuk, and even Martinez could each net the Cardinals a great return. Since there is more shuffle room in the outfield, that’s probably where the Cardinals should look for that cleanup bat they missed in 2016. They should follow that road all the way to J.D. Martinez. With all the rumours floating around about Giancarlo Stanton, Martinez is a slugger who won’t require such a hefty commitment.
Free agent target: J.D. Martinez
