Fresh off a weekend where he became the pettiest manager in Major League Baseball, St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol will indeed be returning for the 2026 season. Marmol made headlines over the weekend for his decision to walk Chicago Cubs' first baseman Michael Busch when he was a single away from completing a rare two-home-run cycle.
Chaim Bloom was officially named the Cardinals' President of Baseball Operations on Tuesday and announced that Marmol's job isn't in question this offseason. The move isn't a complete surprise, considering the expectation is that the Cardinals will be resetting in 2026.
