NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- The Cardinals continue to cast a wide net as their hunt for an outfielder continues from the Winter Meetings this week. They're exploring options in both the free-agent and trade markets, considering short- and long-term fits and even mulling possible platoon pieces in that search.
As the sun set on Day 1 of the Winter Meetings on Monday, the Cardinals had not completed a transaction. None seemed imminent, though general manager John Mozeliak did indicate that his meetings with clubs and agents were expected to continue well into the night. It would cap a day that Mozeliak began over breakfast with another team's GM.
