He's one of the finest fielders in the league and one of the finest guys in the clubhouse, but the Cardinals must get more offense out of their shortstop position next season. I have faith that a refreshed DeJong will play better next season, but to what degree is hard to project on Nov. 5, before spring has sprung.
The Cardinals have only a few positions where, realistically, they can even try to make a change via a trade: Third base, shortstop and the three outfield spots. Though, the outfield spots will likely be filled internally (and they made a qualifying offer to Marcell Ozuna).
