Let alone have that meeting caught on camera for live TV. John Mozeliak, the Cardinals’ president of baseball operations, and Washington general manager Mike Rizzo were shown together during the local broadcast of the Cardinals’ 5-0 victory Sunday at Nationals Park.

Because of a fluke in the schedule that put the Cardinals in Washington for the Soto sweepstakes, Mozeliak and Rizzo met previously during the series for “discussions,” a source with knowledge described. The Nationals are entertaining offers on several players, including young superstar Juan Soto. 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.
