BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Though the "Cardinal Way" typically hasn't involved being a big player in the free-agent market, general manager John Mozeliak acknowledges that recent circumstances might lead him down that path in upgrading his pitching staff.
This, after a trying few days in which the Cardinals first learned that highly touted righty Anthony Reyes has been suspended for 50 games. Then came Tuesday's bad news. Lance Lynn -- who has logged nearly 800 innings over the last four years -- will miss all of 2016 due to Tommy John surgery.
There's no "woe is me" in the Cardinals front office.
