He's one of the finest fielders in the league and one 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 only 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).
