Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak believes his team had a very good regular season. And he is not going to overreact to the disappointing finish to the postseason by shifting to a new organizational philosophy.
He likes the chemistry of his field staff demonstrated this season under first-year manager Oliver Marmol, so he’s surprised to be heading into the offseason with four coaching vacancies.
He likes the job hitting coach Jeff Albert did and is disappointed the Albert did not want to stay in the STL.
He is glad to have Adam Wainwright returning to the starting rotation and he is hopeful that third baseman Nolan Arenado will decline his opt-out and finish out his contract as a Cardinal.
