Baring a trade between now and the start of spring training, Randal Grichuk is currently the best option for the St. Louis Cardinals as the 4th outfielder. That’s right, I said, Randal Grichuk.
Dexter Fowler, Tommy Pham, and Marcell Ozuna are set as the starting outfielders going into the 2018 season. One of the roster questions Mike Matheny and his staff will face is who will be the fourth outfielder. The choices on the surface seem to be many, but are actually few.
With trades of Stephen Piscotty and Magneuris Sierra, the veteran options are Randal Grichuk and Jose Martinez.
