As planning for the 2023 season accelerated and the start of spring training appeared on the next page of the calendar, it became clearer to Matt Holliday the time he would miss now with his kids to start chasing a future as a coach in a major-league dugout.
He made the decision to resign as bench coach before the role began.
The Cardinals announced Thursday morning that Joe McEwing, a longtime White Sox coach and former utility player for the Cardinals who earned the nickname "Super," had been hired as Oliver Marmol's new bench coach. In the same announcement, the Cardinals confirmed Holliday's resignation.
