NASHVILLE -- With a detailed to-do list and the financial resources to be aggressive in the free-agent market, the Cardinals have arrived at the Opryland Hotel ready to continue to their work.
The Winter Meetings begin in earnest on Monday and will run through the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday. With representatives from all 30 Major League clubs in attendance, along with agents and media members, the annual December gathering is always ripe for Hot Stove rumors and activity.
And members of the Cardinals' front office traveled to Nashville ready to act.
The club's lone Major League signing so far this offseason was that of Brayan Pena, acquired to serve as the team's backup catcher.
