Cardinal sin? Not quite.Cardinals president of baseball operationsJohn Mozeliak, in fielding reporters'questions Wednesday, revealedthat St. Louis would not be picking up the club's $12.5 million option on second baseman Kolten Wong for 2021. Maybe more surprisingly,the longtime St. Louis head man admitted he'd like a do-over on the Randy Arozarena trade."I will own that. That's on me. You need to know your own Avery Bradley Jersey players. We will revisit how we rank our own players and make sure that we don't have something like this happen again." -- Mozeliak pre-emptively answering the Arozarena questions. Derrick S. Goold (@dgoold) "I will own that. That's on me," Mozeliak said, . "We will revisit how we rank our own players and make sure that we don't have something like this Tobias Harris Jersey happen again."MORE: Baseball executives don't often admit fault, so this is something new (and slightly refreshing). It does, though, seem unfair to knock Mozeliak for the organization's evaluation of Arozarena, who had a breakout year with Tampa Bay and, oh, will still eligible for the Rookie of the Year award in 2021. Arozarena popped off in the postseason, hitting .377 with 10 home runs and a 1.273 OPS over 20 games with Tampa Bay. There also was that whole The wasn't nece sarily unbalanced, though hindsight might deem it so: The Cardinals received left-hander Matthew Liberatore, one of baseball's better pitching prospects, and Edgardo Rodriguez, a low-level catching Blake Griffin Jersey prospect, from Tampa Bay in exchange for Arozarena and first baseman Jose Martinez. The teams also swapped competitive balance picks in the 2020 MLB Draft. The Rays eventually traded Martinez to the Cubs, while Liberatore is marinating in the lower levels of the minor leagues.Still, the Cardinalsshipped off Arozarena, who had a postseason for the ages, while the Kawhi Leonard Jersey team has been trying to figure out its outfield situation. Harrison Bader has underperformed, Dexter Fowler has as well, and there aren't many reinforcements coming in the immediate term.Dylan Carlson made his debut in 2020 after a solid but unspectacular minor league career andleftroom for questions about how good he's really going to be at the major league level.MORE: Going back a little further, the Cardinals traded Luke Voit to the Yankees in 2018, and hewent on to becomethe 2020 American League home run leader and a solideveryday major leaguer. Understandably, this ledto Louis Williams Jersey questions about the job Mozeliak has been doing. Couple that with the team's general inconsistencysince a 100-win season in 2016 and you get a full picture of why there are predictably salty feelings burgeoning amongCardinal fans.A reminder: Prospects are suspects, hindsight is 20/20 and it's unfair to pin succe ses or failures of players solely ona GM or executive. But at least Mozeliak is owning up to the questionable Arozarena deal. Just don't expect it to happen again.
