NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. - Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak admittedly was unable to pull off the deal he sought this week at baseball’s annual winter meetings. There’s no hiding that painful reality.

The headlines at the winter meetings belonged to the tanking White Sox and the improving Cubs, Nationals and the Yankees. The Cardinals are no better today than they were when they arrived at the Gaylord National on Sunday.

Even worse, their biggest rival got better at the winter meetings.

Despite his failure to complete a deal here and the outcry from frustrated Cardinals fans back home, Mozeliak was still optimistic as he left the winter meetings Friday morning.
