LONDON — There are still five weeks before the trade deadline arrives and with it a referendum on where the Cardinals’ view themselves, let alone where the standings see them.
The front office, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak, continues to see several routes they could go, from strategic seller to a roster refresh, but, sitting in a temporary dugout in the United Kingdom he planted his feet on familiar ground with permanence.
“The message to the fanbase is, ‘We are not looking to blow up this team,’” Mozeliak said ahead of the Cardinals hosting the Cubs in the first game of the London Series.
