If they are there, I assume he is working with them. My interpretation of the quote is that it's going to be beneficial to work with them, long-term.

I’m a little confused as to how Willie McGee is going to help Kolten Wong.

Base running.
Which is the obvious answer. The other would be that (he) hasn't given up on the idea that he can be a serviceable replacement outfielder.

Has the team defined the roles of Oquendo and McGee? I mean in terms of practice field responsibilities. It might be that McGee is now the baserunning coach. In the past, I think, Jose might've been in charge of infield defense and baserunning.

Kolten Wong said Thursday that he expects to steal "at least" 20 bases this season.
Wong stole 20 bases in his rookie season back in 2014 and 15 in 2015 but has managed just 15 steals combined over the last two seasons. However, he said swiping only eight bags in 2017 "was not me" and he expects new baserunning coach Willie McGee to help "open" up the running game. Wong had a nice .285/.376/.412 batting line last season, but he hit just four homers and he's slated to bat eighth for the Cardinals again in 2018. Getting reignited on the basepaths would obviously help Wong's fantasy outlook, and he has the speed and efficiency (career 79 percent success rate).
