The St Louis Cardinals 2025 outfield produced more WAR than only 4 other teams. That is a glaring weakness.
When your outfield is only better than the Rockies, Royals, Pirates, …and Guardians? outfields, you know there’s a problem that needs to be solved. I cannot say that I was excited by our outfield in couple years before 2025 either. While our outfield was somehow worth 2.5 fWAR more than the Royals, that just means I need to tell you that the 2025 Royals outfield was -1.1 fWAR.
If you look at offensive rate stats like weighted runs created +adj, the Cardinals are only better than 2 teams!
