Tom Ackerman talks with John Mozeliak about the Cardinals' offseason priorities, including finalizing roster decisions in January, developing young players like Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, and Lars Nootbaar, and ongoing renovations at the Jupiter training complex. Mozeliak addresses trade market rumors surrounding Nolan Arenado, discusses payroll management, and shares updates on pitching prospects like Matthew Liberatore and Gordon Graceffo. The conversation also highlights Jose Quintana's versatility and the team's preparation for a competitive 2025 season.

Nate & Ben discuss a minor procedure, a suddenly hot stove, Arenado's preferences, a surprisingly direct Mozeliak, dumb baseball players, a trade to the red sox?, the 5th pick in 2025!, Yadi's return?, Oli Marmol, Miles Mikolas, David Freese, Sasaki, being tired of Mozeliak, and much more! Have a question or comment for the show?
