Despite Tommy Pham’s emergence as a star in the outfield, here is the case for him to be NL MVP, the Cardinals are looking to the outfield as positions that need upgrading. At the top of the list is Giancarlo Stanton of Miami. Then, perhaps the top free agent, J.D. Martinez. Another Marlin follows in third: Christian Yelich. I wrote about how likely it is that the Cardinals acquire Yelich here.
Many believe Stanton is too expensive. J.D. Martinez is the top free agent entering the offseason, but when is the last time the Cardinals bought the top free agent?
