Most glaring needs for eight hyped MLB teams

St. Louis Cardinals

Glaring need(s): Center field 

MLB Teams

When a team gains a member from the previous World Series Championship team, all eyes will be on him.

Dexter Fowler recently inked a five-year, $82-million deal with the Cardinals shortly after being a part of the best team in 2016, the Chicago Cubs.

The investment in the 2016 All-Star is a big one, but the ROI could work in the Cards’ favor after falling just two games short of the postseason last year.

Manager Mike Matheny recently told MLB.com that not only is he a great fit in the lineup but a strong clubhouse presence that seemed “stiff last season.”

“I think he’s going to be a great fit, all the way around, in this community, on this team, in the lineup, in our clubhouse,” manager Mike Matheny said to Jennifer Langosch of MLB.com. “[I’m] very, very excited about having him with us.”

Fowler brings athleticism, and now, outfielder Randal Grichuk can make his home in left.

The centerfielder finished the 2016 season with a .276/.393/.447 line and 126 hits and 13 home runs.
