Arizona welcomed one of the flyover teams to Chase Field tonight. They also wear red, have a right-handed first baseman headed to the Hall of Fame, and would certainly classify as “underperforming” in 2024 thus far. If you believe in projection models at least. The St Louis Cardinals brought some familiar star power to Phoenix in Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt along with their youth.
