Coming off a disappointing stretch of two seasons — including a 91-loss campaign in 2023 – the St. Louis Cardinals are poised to make significant changes to the front office and roster. The executive moves have already started.
Team owner Bill DeWitt announced Monday that general manager Mike Girsch has been removed from his position, which he's held since June of 2017, and is now vice president of special projects. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak will finish his contract, which runs through 2025, in his current position but that'll be his final year. Chaim Bloom will then succeed Mozeliak and take over as president of baseball operations after the 2025 season.
Manager Oli Marmol will remain in his current position. He guided the Cardinals to a division title in 2022. However, a 91-loss campaign in 2023 followed, and then this season the Cardinals missed the postseason with a 83-79 record. Across those three seasons Marmol is 247-239. Although the 38-year-old Marmol is under contract through 2026, he'll likely be managing for his job in 2025.
