The Cardinals haver extended the contract of manager Oliver Marmol for two seasons. Financials were not reported. Marmol was entering the last year of his contract, overseeing a rebuild in St. Louis, now entering its third season. The Cardinals also secured a team option for 2029.
Marmol, 39, is the third-youngest manager in MLB, behind the Nationals' Blake Butera and the Giants' Tony Vitello, each 33 and entering their first seasons as MLB managers.
Marmol's entering his fifth season as manager. He took the Cardinals to the playoffs in 2022, his first season, and a second place finish in the NL Central in 2024. Overall, he is 325-323.
My take: Marmol's gotten blood from a stone the last two seasons, winning 83 and 78 games, respectively, from a rebuilding roster. He will have his least-experienced group in his tenure this upcoming season.
