2020 Is a Crucial Season in the Outfield

The Cardinals outfield is still a bit unsettled for the future and that makes 2020 such an important season for the Cardinals three starting outfielders. There are questions about each outfielder’s long term potential. The 34-year-old Dexter Fowler will see his contract expire after the 2021 season, Tyler O’Neill must improve his plate discipline to become capable of consistently tapping into his plus power, and Harrison Bader has had his share of struggles at the plate. If Dexter Fowler declines even more at the plate then he may lose his starting job next season, while Harrison Bader and Tyler O’Neill must solve their own problems if they want to keep their starting jobs in the outfield.
