MLB Stars at a Crucial Juncture: Who Will Rise from the Ashes and Who Will Fade Away?
Truth is, though, lots of players enter spring training every year with their best seasons already in the rearview mirror, with the inevitable career conclusion closing in. Many of them have no clue, but there are almost always signs.
Look at the St. Louis Cardinals last year as an example. In 2022, Paul Goldschmidt won the NL MVP and Nolan Arenado finished third. Both took pretty big steps back in 2023 but were still productive. The Cardinals and their fans were expecting – hoping, maybe? – both would revert to form in 2024 and lift the club back toward contention.
