Cardinals-Orioles Had Preliminary Trade Talks, But Intend To Keep J.J. Hardy; Interest In Carlos Beltran

Have you heard anything about J.J. Hardy going to the Cardinals?

Executive vice president Dan Duquette met with the Cardinals during the GM meetings in Orlando. Not the entire team, of course. The room wasn't that big. Anyway, it wasn't unexpected because the Orioles need pitching and the Cardinals need a shortstop. But it's not like the Orioles were trying to move Hardy or were ready to pull the trigger on a trade. Just preliminary talks. The Orioles are trying to get a pitcher and keep Hardy, and that's what will happen. Somehow, somewhere, they will add a starting pitcher and Hardy will jog down the orange carpet on opening day.
