Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak -- a veteran team-builder who has regularly used the offseason to add difference-making talents such as Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras and Sonny Gray to try and chase a championship -- oddly saw this winter slow to a crawl.

Normally, when walking into Winter Warm-Up, it’s cold and frigid and deflating — but once you get inside, there’s this feeling of warmth and comfort and ignited fire. Cardinals baseball! It’s happening! But on Saturday inside Winter Warm-Up, well, it still felt cold and frigid and deflating. Cardinals baseball? What’s happening?

Cardinals GM John Mozeliak reaffirmed his desire to trade Nolan Arenado this offseason, calling it the number one priority on Saturday.
