Cardinals Exploring Outfield Role for Infield Prospect Thomas Saggese

The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly considering a transition to the outfield for versatile infielder Thomas Saggese, who hasn't played the position since he was 10 years old. While Saggese has solid defensive numbers at second and third base, his speed is rated as average to below-average. This potential move aims to increase his playing time, as primary infield spots are filled. Saggese has shown some power in the minors, hitting 26 homers in 2023 and 21 in 2024, and the Cardinals hope he can develop into a super-utility player.
