The Cardinals Must Not Give Up on This Lefty Slugger Yet
Despite a rough start to the season, the St. Louis Cardinals should not throw in the towel on their left-handed slugger just yet. Despite his struggles, there is still potential for him to turn things around and become a valuable asset to the team.
It’s no secret that this player has been struggling at the plate. His batting average is well below his career average and he has yet to hit a home run this season. But before the Cardinals make any rash decisions, they should consider his past performance and the potential he still holds.
This lefty slugger has been a consistent contributor to the team in the past. In fact, he has been one of their top hitters for the past few seasons. It’s not uncommon for players to go through slumps, and with his track record, it’s likely that he will bounce back.
Furthermore, it’s important to remember that baseball is a game of patience. It’s a long season and there is still plenty of time for this player to find his groove. The Cardinals should not give up on him after just a few weeks of struggling.

Cardinals Expected to Keep 13 Home Run Slugger for 2026 Season, Fans Curious About Future of Nolan Gorman
The St. Louis Cardinals have had a lackluster offensive season by their own standards, but with one month left in the 2025 season, players are fighting for their spots on the roster for next year. However, with a power shift happening in the front office, fans are wondering if wholesale changes will be made.
Key players have already been traded off the Cardinals’ roster, and more trades are expected this offseason. This has left fans questioning the future of Nolan Gorman, a promising young player on the team.
According to Benjamin Hochman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals’ front office should hold onto Gorman for the next season. Despite a batting average of just .213 this season, Gorman has managed to hit 13 home runs in 93 games and has an OPS of .719. While he struggles against left-handed pitchers, his overall career stats show that he is a slightly above-average hitter.
Gorman’s defense may need some work, but he has shown versatility in the infield and has made improvements in his plate discipline. As the Winter months approach, Gorman’s name will surely be a hot topic in trade discussions. However, if given the chance to play a full season, he could potentially have a breakout year like he did in 2023.
With the Cardinals not expected to compete in the National League Central next season, it would make sense to allow Gorman to work through his struggles and potentially reach his full potential. Only time will tell if the Cardinals’ front office will heed Hochman’s advice and keep Gorman on the roster for the 2026 season.
