SPRINGFIELD, Mo. • John Mozeliak saw the questions coming as he took a seat in the Hammons Field dugout.

Those hoping the organization would announce a contract extension for the beloved catcher while the team was out of town for its final exhibition game — an unlikely bet all along — are going to have to keep waiting.
“Still waiting for things to happen,” Cardinals manger Mike Matheny said. “We’ll see.”
A fast-approaching deadline has gained clarity as it nears.
