Doesn't that feel...low? There's only 12 total with over 300 career home runs. Are we in a serious lull in terms of active career HR leaders, after the retirement of Pujols and Cabrera?

I think we lost a lot of names in recent years that hit that threshold, due to retirement but there are certainly many waiting in the wings.
Betts, Suarez, Ozuna and Schwarber will all get to the 300 mark. Olson, JRam and Lindor are right behind them as well, barring any sort of major career ending injury.
The more we go down the list, the harder it is to predict, but I would wager, Ohtani, Seager, Soto, Alvarez and Vlad Jr, barring major injury will eventually arrive at that mark as well.
