The St. Louis Cardinals are facing a challenging period, having finished the 2023 season with 91 losses. Fans are growing restless as the team shifts towards a youth movement, potentially leading to more seasons of mediocrity.

However, there is hope on the horizon with promising talent emerging from the farm system, particularly Thomas Saggese, who has made a strong impression in the Arizona Fall League. His performance could pave the way for a significant role in the Cardinals' future, especially if current players like Nolan Arenado are traded.
