The Cardinals are going to have their work cut out for them this winter. At the top of the priority list will be what John Mozeliak said at the trade deadline. Pitching. Pitching. Pitching.
The starting rotation takes precedence in my opinion. The bullpen needs work too, but a good rotation can sometimes help mask bullpen struggles. We know that Miles Mikolas and Steven Matz will be with the team next year. Jordan Montgomery and Jack Flaherty are already gone, and Adam Wainwright will retire.
Mozeliak has said that he intends to add three starting pitchers this winter.
