John Mozeliak is usually not very forthcoming about his plans, but he revealed that the Cardinals were looking for catching and would like a left-handed bat to balance the lineup. This is a fascinating thing to point out. Because if it’s a stated goal, it’s sort of a confusing look at what the offseason could be. None of the shortstops are right-handed, none of the (starting caliber and theoretically available) catchers are right-handed, and the free agent options are limiting. This could mean they foresee a future trade with a left-handed bat that we’re not expecting or they’re banking on one of the few left-handed free agents.
