Back-to-back playoff-less seasons and zero postseason wins since 2020 have soured the baseball appetite of St. Louis Cardinals fans. The organization is in a rough patch. This is a foreign feeling for the second-leading Major League Baseball franchise in World Series titles.
As a result, the organization promised changes. But, not all of the rumored changes are necessary, and the Cardinals risk losing fan support if they go through with certain radical changes.
On Sept. 30, the Cardinals announced that Chaim Bloom would take over as the team’s president of baseball operations in 2026. The current president of baseball operations, John Mozeliak, has been in the role since 2017.
