Let’s talk about some power ball.
In trading Willson Contreras to the Red Sox, the Cardinals subtracted 20 home runs from last season’s total of 168 homers. Among MLB teams, only the Pirates hit fewer la bombas than the Cardinals in 2025. Contreras led the Cards in this department, and next season he’ll be taking aim to clear the Green Monster, and I can see many Contreras-launched line-drive doubles smacking the famous Fenway Park rampart.
So, based on Cardinals that are still here as of now, the team’s current starting point for 2026 is 148 homers. How do the Redbirds possibly penetrate the air spaces over MLB ballparks with soaring baseballs that go for home runs?
