St. Louis Cardinals
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Cardinals' attempts to trade Arenado last offseason failed, and then Arenado failed to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 season with an even worse showing in 2025. For the second year in a row, Arenado finished with an xwOBA below .300, and his average exit velocity also ranked in the bottom-10 percentile for the second straight year. He remains an elite contact hitter, but not even an 11.2 percent strikeout rate could buoy Arenado's batting average, which tumbled to a career-low .237. A shoulder injury limited Arenado to only 23 games in the second half and likely hampered him before that, but it would be a stretch to assign much blame for Arenado's downfall to that injury. He simply looks like a player who no longer has much juice in his bat in his mid-30s. Read Past Outlooks
