ST. LOUIS -- While loosely outlining potential Trade Deadline pursuits and priorities for his club on Friday, president of baseball operations John Mozeliak also acknowledged the fluidity surrounding it all. Before he can determine what the organization most needs, Mozeliak hopes to better learn what the Cardinals are.
How the Cardinals close out the month and whether their bullpen can stabilize by getting healthy will help to define where the organization goes from here. But that 'pen was more shaky than stable on Friday, and as a result, things capsized for the Cardinals in a 9-1 loss to the Reds at Busch Stadium.
