Not a catcher.
The catcher.
This should be the clear goal for Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak and his fellow decisionmakers at this week’s winter meetings.
Checking that box and more would be great, but Mozeliak and his lieutenants leaving their swanky San Diego hotel suite without finalizing the face behind the mask who will start the post Yadier Molina era could turn into a significant mistake.
Calls for urgency in early December are common but often silly. There are no games to be won before spring training. But this catcher situation is different, and the Cardinals have to know they can’t play this one both ways.
