Bernie Show: Mo Won't Go? Oh No!
Manage episode 436938733 series 3591695
Via Derrick Goold, the outstanding baseball writer at STLToday, it appears that Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak will fulfill the final year of his contract in 2025 -- and that ownership will "welcome him" to return and finish that contract.
This could be a huge fan-relations blunder for the Cardinals. Mozeliak has been running the baseball department since late October, 2007. Mozeliak Fatigue has clearly set in, and the condition is acute. But I want to wait and see how this plays out.
If Mozeliak returns for his final year but isn't in charge of baseball operations -- and if apparent successor Chaim Bloom has the power to make the decisions -- this could work out.
But if the Cardinals fail to make that perfectly clear to their disillusioned fan base -- Bloom is running the baseball operation, period, end of story -- then best of luck selling season tickets and individual-game tickers and leasing suites in 2025.
