The St. Louis Cardinals are close to emerging as strong contenders in the National League. Despite a rough start to the 2023 season, the team has remarkably improved over the past six weeks, now trailing the Milwaukee Brewers by just four games for the top spot in the National League Central.
Due to this positive trajectory, Cardinals fans should be optimistic about the team’s future, especially with the approaching 2024 Major League Baseball trade deadline. The team is anticipated to be active in the market and has been identified as a “potential suitor” for Miami Marlins All-Star center fielder/second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. by CBS Sports’ R.J. Anderson.
With the Marlins signaling a potential rebuild and Chisholm likely to be on the move, there’s a window of opportunity for the Cardinals to strengthen their roster. Chisholm’s current season statistics include a .255 batting average, .326 on-base percentage, .407 slugging percentage, 10 home runs, 40 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases in 87 games.
If the Cardinals manage to acquire Chisholm to bolster their lineup in center field or second base, it could significantly enhance their competitive position beyond their current promising standing.
