The Cardinals are interested in the right fielder and the Nationals, according to sources, have sought conversations with the Cardinals because of the quality of prospects in the system.  The Cardinals have seven prospects ranked in Baseball America&#8217;s updated Top 100 list, and that group does not include rookie Nolan Gorman.  The headline prospects, Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn, represented the Cardinals at the Futures Game, and Class AA standout Walker had his second two-homer game of the past week on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>It is only the rarest of deals that the Cardinals would consider including Walker, and that is part of the measure of the moment: Is the Soto deal at his age (23) and years of control the rare one?  The prospect cost for Soto, who will not be a free agent until after the 2024 season, is expected to be steep.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>And that factors into the Cardinals&#8217; other ongoing conversations, the ones on the phone and via text message and not held in a suite at Nationals Park for a camera to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>They have canvassed the industry to determine what starters are available and found a variety at different price points \u2014 and quality.  The options that have interested the Cardinals to varying degrees range from higher-cost starters like Oakland&#8217;s Frankie Montas to rentals like Nathan Eovaldi, Chad Kuhl or Noah Syndergaard, or a veteran option such as Houston&#8217;s Jake Odorizzi.  San Francisco reportedly will consider trading lefty Carlos Rodon, and Miami has been open to discussions about Pablo Lopez.  Both have strikeout traits the Cardinals seek.  The Cardinals to want to add at least one pitcher before 5 pm St.  Louis time Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Mozeliak said increasing the innings they can count on is important for the final two months of the season, especially as they prep to be without lefty Steven Matz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>A fifth starter has not been announced for this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>They do hope to acquire him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>\u201cThere are still moving parts,\u201d manager Oliver Marmol said, sitting near his office in the visitors&#8217; clubhouse with no camera present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>Molina on target for Tuesday<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>With soggy weather in the forecast, the plan Sunday for Yadier Molina was to start at designated hitter for Class AAA Memphis and use those at-bats to slingshot back to the majors Tuesday.  A rainout that postponed Sunday&#8217;s Redbirds game changed the amount of work that Molina could get, but that won&#8217;t change the Cardinals&#8217; plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>The team intends to have Molina join them in St.  Louis and go through an evaluation from team trainers and the coaches.  If ready, he is likely to be activated Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>He&#8217;s set to make his 317th start with Adam Wainwright on the mound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>\u201cHe feels good,\u201d Marmol said.  \u201cHe feels like he&#8217;s in a real good spot.  That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not concerned with him having to catch back-to-back days (in the minors).  Getting at-bats was important.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Molina return is \u201ca big deal,\u201d Marmol added.  \u201cLooking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Molina was struck by a pitch in his left hand during his first rehab assignment game.  The hand was tender during his five innings behind the plate Saturday but \u201cloosened\u201d as he went, Marmol said.  He had a single and a walk at the plate.  The Cardinals have played six weeks since their veteran catcher went on the injured with a swollen right knee.  Molina, who has said he&#8217;ll retire at season&#8217;s end, used that time to rest the knee and improve his conditioning for the sprint to the finish \u2014 the closing weeks of his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s coming back for a reason,\u201d Marmol said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>O&#8217;Neill sidelined by leg soreness<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Outfielder Tyler O&#8217;Neill was not available Sunday after leaving the previous night&#8217;s game with cramps and discomfort in his left leg.  He said he was being cautious after returning recently from a hamstring injury.  O&#8217;Neill continued to receive treatment Sunday, and the team hoped that a break that day coupled with Monday&#8217;s off day would alleviate any concern so that he could return to the lineup Tuesday, when the Cardinals open a series against the Cubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>Pujols, Molina honored by Nats<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>To celebrate the careers of Albert Pujols and Molina in the Cardinals&#8217; final visit in their careers to Washington, the Nationals held a pre-game tribute and presented the retiring Cardinals framed photos signed by current Nats players and seats mounted from the ballpark.  The two seats given to Pujols, both with the No.  5, had plaques to commemorate Pujols&#8217; 400th and 500th career home runs \u2014 which were hit as a visiting player at Nationals Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Pujols was also presented with a US flag that flew over the Capitol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>Wainwright accepted the gifts on behalf of Molina.  While included in some of the \u201clast run\u201d promotional material and merchandise, Wainwright, 40, has not decided whether he will retire at the end of this season.  He may return to pursue 200 wins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>The crowd at Nationals Park chanted Pujols&#8217; name late in Sunday&#8217;s game, calling for a late appearance by the three-time MVP.  He did not take an at-bat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inline-asset inline-article  p402_hide subscriber-only tnt-inline-asset tnt-inline-relcontent tnt-inline-article tnt-inline-relation-sibling
