The Rocky-Mountain News recently had a chat with St. Louis Cardinals' GM John Mozeliak, who made it clear that he believes his club will not acquire outfielder Matt Holliday from the Colorado Rockies. Multiple news sources reported yesterday that St. Louis was the front-runner for the powerful left-fielder, possibly centering a deal around Ryan Ludwick. Talks seemed to have stalled once Colorado pushed their wants to Ludwick, Skip Schumaker, and reliever Mitchell Boggs. The three-some of players seemed to have demolished the deal for both sides.
You must be a bit more loose on Holliday talks if your the Cardinals, because everybody knows he's probably just a one-year rental. They should of been quite content with Ryan Ludwick and a strong reliever in Mitchell Boggs, but instead wanted to add Schumaker who would of only made their outfielder more crowded. Their best case scenario is still moving Holliday for some pitchers, so they will continue to test the waters all offseason until they find the right fit.
