St. Louis Cardinals Announce Coaching Changes

The St. Louis Cardinals are undergoing significant changes to their coaching and front office staff after a disappointing 2024 season, during which they finished over .500 but missed the playoffs. Brant Brown has been appointed as the new hitting coach, replacing Turner Ward, and is tasked with improving an offense that ranked near the bottom of the league in runs scored. Alongside Brown, the Cardinals have hired Rob Cerfolio as the new assistant general manager, focusing on player development, and welcomed Jon Jay back to the coaching staff. Willie McGee is transitioning to a special advisor role following his coaching tenure. These moves reflect the Cardinals' commitment to rebuilding and enhancing their performance as they prepare for the 2025 season. With a focus on developing young talent and refining coaching strategies, the organization aims to return to postseason contention in the near future.
