Cardinals should target a player like Blaze Jordan, 1B/3B Boston

Blaze Jordan is another good player the Cards could set their sights on. Jordan is a corner infielder the Boston Red Sox drafted in the third round of the 2020 MLB Draft. He was selected out of DeSoto Central High School in Southaven, Mississippi, the same high school Braves third baseman Austin Riley attended.

The Cardinals are lucky to have Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt at their corner infield slots. They have moved some talented corner infielders to different positions to get them playing time. If Jordan were to break out and show off his offense, teams could find a place for him.

Jordan is currently playing for Greenville in the South Atlantic League. He’s slashing .324/.385/.533 with an OPS of .918. He’s hit 22 doubles, one triple, and 12 home runs. He has 48 runs and 55 RBI.

Jordan is from an area with many Cardinals fans so he would be close to friends and family. He’s a talented young hitter who could be a fun addition to the organization. The Red Sox could use a switch-hitting outfielder that Carlson could be for them.
