Introducing FanNation's Inside The Cardinals: Sports Illustrated's Newest Page

The St. Louis Cardinals are in a favorable position as the 2023 season comes into focus.

The Cardinals enter the 2023 season as favorites to win the National League Central with a star-studded lineup and formidable pitching staff.

St. Louis has a middle-of-the-order that consists of reigning National League MVP Paul Goldschmidt and seven-time All-Star Nolan Arenado -- who finished third in NL MVP voting last season. The organization brought in a big-ticket free agent in former rival catcher Willson Contreras and features plenty of young talent around the diamond.

The most exciting young gun would be outfielder/third baseman Jordan Walker -- the No. 4 prospect in the league according to MLB Pipeline -- who is set to make the Opening Day roster at just 20 years old with zero games played at Triple-A Memphis. The hulking former first-round pick in the 2020 Major League Baseball Draft joins a developing young core that is expected to make waves this season.

Here to cover what projects to be a wild season and beyond is FanNation's Inside The Cardinals, part of Sports Illustrated Media Group. The site will provide daily content for the latest breaking news, inside scoops, rumors, prospects updates and more.
