JUPITER, Fla. — The architect behind 15 consecutive winning seasons will continue to lead the Cardinals for several more years, through the construction of a modern spring training complex, the upkeep of the big-league rotation, and the high-rise spending of National League rivals.
John Mozeliak and the Cardinals have reached agreement on a two-year extension for him to remain president of baseball operations through at least the 2025 season, a source told the Post-Dispatch.
Mozeliak is entering the final year of his previous extension with the team, and it was set to expire at the conclusion of the 2023 season. The new contract will add an additional two years after this season. Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said during the team’s Winter Warm-up that he hoped to come to an agreement this spring with Mozeliak, who has led the Cardinals baseball operations since becoming senior vice president and general manager on Halloween 2007. Mozeliak, 54, served as interim general manager the month before that promotion and by the end of the extension will be one of the longest-serving executives in the club's 132 seasons in the National League.
