JUPITER, Fla. — Bill DeWitt Jr. sure loves John Mozeliak, so he wrote him a valentine the best way he knew how — by drafting up a contract extension.
The Cardinals chairman locked in his president of baseball operations through 2025. And I think it’s fair to both to be fine with the decision, but also demand mo’ from “Mo.”
To wit, that means more from DeWitt, too.
The cost of winning — or even of making a playoff run — has gone up disproportionately recently. For Mozeliak to do his job properly, he’ll need his boss to allow him to sign A-list free agents, notably starting pitchers, in the coming years.
