Cardinals address Willson Contreras move amid his Wrigley return

CHICAGO -- A meeting Sunday of St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol, pitchers Adam Wainwright and Jack Flaherty, and catcher Willson Contreras led Marmol to declare the day "one of the most productive" of the season.

It came amid confusion over why the Cardinals switched Contreras from being their everyday catcher to serving as their regular designated hitter after signing him to a five-year, $87.5 million deal this past winter.

But Marmol didn't provide much clarity on the subject before Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

"There's so many different layers and elements to what we're talking about," Marmol said.
