The St. Louis Cardinals are at the Winter Meetings looking more likely to subtract from their major league roster than add, but there are still questions looming around the current offense. While the infield configuration is going to be in flux, the outfield seems to be set and may contain the Cardinals' next leadoff hitter.
Victor Scott II is in consideration for the leadoff spot next year.
The top spot in the order during the 2025 season was a black hole of production. In total, the Cardinals' leadoff hitters put up a 91 wRC+, which was good for second-worst in the National League and 26th in all of baseball.
