This is a carryover St. Louis Cardinals franchise from OOTP 23.
The 2024 version of the Cardinals was a vast disappointment seeing a five-year string of postseason appearances end with a 73-89 campaign which saw them finish last in the National League Central.
The team didn't do much well and in fact saw some major regressions from players, who should not yet be on the downside of their careers.
I believe the talent is still there.
Position-wise, it will be up to the players already on hand to perform to expectations.
A top of the rotation starter seems to be the biggest need.
The NL Central should be winnable -- although the Pirates and Reds have shown signs of improving -- it's yet to be seen if the Cardinals can compete with the big boys of the National League.
