As the St. Louis Cardinals finish their preparations for the Winter Meetings, they still are in need of an outfielder. More specifically, general manager John Mozeliak is looking for a defensive, athletic center fielder that would improve the defense up the middle and allow Randal Grichuk to play left field.
Outfielders like Dexter Fowler, Carlos Gomez and Ian Desmond have been discussed and debated at nauseum. However, earlier this week, Frank Cusumano of KSDK.com and KFNS 90 discussed the outfield issue with ESPN.com’s Mark Saxon. During their discussion, Mark Saxon suggested that John Mozeliak may be in the trade market for someone that no one is expecting and someone that hasn’t been an established major leaguer quite yet.
