John Mozeliak will live on as a historic hero in St. Louis aura. He grabbed onto the brass ring for many years that encapsulated St. Louis to its a best and worst moments in franchise history.
Mozeliak was able to overcome the Chicago Cubs throughout most of the early 2000’s. He served excellent in establishing a great scouting rapport within the St. Louis front office and Colorado as well.
He was significant in bringing stars such as Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, and Adam Wainwright to town. Not to mention, my favorite such as Chris Carpenter. There were some true poised players on Mozeliak’s roster. They all played the St. Louis way.
Later, it got crushed.
Theo Epstein of the Chicago Cubs stepped into power along with Jed Hoyer and won the 2016 World Series for the first time in a 108-year drought. They established the roots of the 2004 Boston Red Sox, a little bit, and turned it up a notch by adding Kyle Schwarber, Kris Bryant, and many other stars.
The St. Louis Cardinals, since then, have been chasing to Chaim Bloom for power with prospects and Sonny Gray. The stretch of Jhonny Peralta, Peter Bourjos, and Adam Wainwright could not work out.
Clayton Kershaw, meanwhile, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been extremely successful for a long time, now, and currently the Washington Nationals want to hire a long-time successful executive similar to Mozeliak. Could this be the wonderful structure?
