At Tuesday's Busch Stadium press conference to announce the signing of Korean lefthander Kwang Hung Kim, Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said the focus now would be to improve the team's offense.
The Cardinals could use a lefthanded-hitting outfielder, but Mozeliak said he hasn't rejected the notion of re-signing cleanup hitter and free agent Marcell Ozuna, with whom contract discussions continue.
So until he knows where Ozuna will land, Mozeliak said the lefthanded hitter search is on a bit of a hold.
“We’ve got to understand what (the Ozuna situation) looks like before we turn that page,” Mozeliak said.
