Overview

  • Mozeliak confirmed he will retire at season’s end and said the organization needed a fresh voice and possibly a major reset.
  • Under his leadership since 2007, the Cardinals logged 10 postseason appearances, six NL Central titles and 15 consecutive winning seasons starting in 2008.
  • St. Louis has missed the playoffs three straight years and reached 76-80 after a 5-1 win over the Brewers on Sunday.
  • Chaim Bloom, a former Rays and Red Sox chief who has advised St. Louis over the past year, is set to assume control of baseball operations when the season ends.
  • Reporting indicates Bloom is expected to emphasize youth and roster restructuring, with decisions ahead on veterans like Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan alongside concerns about declining attendance and TV viewership.
