ST. LOUIS • Of all the questions the Cardinals brass of Mike Matheny and John Mozeliak expected to field during their post-season download, only one had nothing to do with their team.
Zach Britton, man?
What's up with that?
“I knew someone was going to ask that question,” Mozeliak said and then gestured toward the manager seated at his right. “Did you watch that game?”
“Yeah,” Matheny replied. “Go ahead.”
“It’s not for me,” the GM said. “I sit up top.”
Regardless of where they watch a game – from up top or the top step – this is a conversation that the Cardinals’ manager and general manager have had before, though it wasn’t specific to Britton.
