CINCINNATI — A shift in role for the executive directly in charge of the Cardinals’ analytics department and a new partnership with a technology company has prompted the team to begin restructuring that area of baseball operations, a team official confirmed.
Dane Sorensen, who has been with the Cardinals the past eight season and spent the past three as their Director of Baseball Development, is returning to his native Minnesota as his wife pursues her career there. Sorensen will continue to work for the Cardinals as an analyst and in the analytics department, but he will no longer be a part of its day-to-day operation as a manager.
