It did not take long for the Marcell Ozuna situation to become clear. Though it may not have been the clarity the Cardinals were hoping to get. Though he may yet contribute to what looks to be a playoff-worthy 2019 squad, the 28-year old is not going to be the anchor of the St. Louis Cardinals outfield for years to come, as previously hoped for.
What a difference two weeks makes. Two weeks ago, the Cardinals were breaking camp; everyone could not have been more sanguine about Ozuna and his future. Scribes, including this author, were happy to lock him in at cleanup, no less.
