In a story by Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak is quoted as saying that additions to the roster now ‘would just make things tougher.’
Isn’t that the kind of problem a team should want?
In regards to Harper, there’s a little validity to that statement. Even though it’s still wrong. I will agree that the current outfield roster is a bit full. However, this isn’t some run-of-the-mill free agent we’re talking about. Bryce Harper would be the best hitting outfielder on your team on day one of camp were he to sign.
