Puzzling? Maybe. But Cardinals' Deadline Strategy Showed A Shift In Focus To What The Organization Has Traditionally Done Best

St.​ Louis​ Cardinals president of​ baseball operations​ John​ Mozeliak​ admits​ Tuesday’s trade-deadline​ performance​ wasn’t​ a home​ run​ for his​ front​​ office. The organization and the major-league team got younger, which seems to be their objective these days. If their scouts are right about the minor-league players they acquired Tuesday, primarily by trading starting center fielder Tommy Pham to the Tampa Bay Rays for three minor leaguers, they could actually be better in as little as a year.
