St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol will return in 2026 despite front office turnover this offseason, new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom told reporters after his introductory press conference on Tuesday (h/t The Athletic’s Katie Woo).
Bloom, whose hiring was announced last September and who took over after the 2025 season, did not directly address Marmol’s future in his press conference earlier Tuesday.
“As far as our field staff, there’s still some things that we need to sort out with every single person on the staff, but overall I’ve enjoyed working with these guys,” Bloom said when asked about turnover. “I expect a lot of continuity. It’s a good group of people that really cares.”
Marmol, originally hired by the Cardinals ahead of the 2022 season, signed a two-year contract extension with the club in 2024. The Cardinals missed out on a third straight postseason this fall.
