The St. Louis Cardinals are shifting to a long-term strategy emphasizing scouting and player development, as confirmed by President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak. Despite a 2022 record of 83-79, the team missed the playoffs. They plan to reduce big league payroll to enhance their minor league system. Chaim Bloom, a former GM, will take on a larger role in revitalizing player development, and manager Oliver Marmol is set to return for 2025.
