JUPITER, Fla. — A majority of the Cardinals players in major-league spring training have opted to return to their offseason homes as the club closes its camp for official workouts and awaits word on when baseball will resume again.
The team will reconvene at that time for what John Mozeliak, president of baseball operations, referred to as "Camp 2."
Most players were encouraged to return home Friday as the result of a discussion between the commissioner's office and the players' union. The Cardinals have 10 to 15 players who have opted to remain in Jupiter, Fla.
