ST. LOUIS — John Mozeliak has been promoted to president of baseball operations and Mike Girsch was elevated to replace him as general manager, the St. Louis Cardinals announced Friday.
Girsch, previously the team’s assistant general manager, follows the same route to the GM job that Mozeliak took in 2007.
Mozeliak and Girsch will continue to work together running baseball operations. Mozeliak will just be doing so with a new title that did not exist in the previous structure of the baseball department.
“Our goals remain the same,” Mozeliak said at a press conference Friday afternoon.
