Early Thursday afternoon, the Mckernan Show tweeted out some interesting news surrounding the St. Louis Cardinals‘ pursuit of a new closer. According to the team, “The top priority this off-season is closer, and that pitcher will most likely come from outside the organization.” The source of the news is none other than John Mozeliak.
It should come to no surprise for Cardinal fans that the team is prioritizing a closer this off-season. The early struggles of Seung-hwan Oh and Trevor Rosenthal made it extremely difficult to close games in the early portion of the schedule.
