Not going to happen. Not during a reset year. Years from now we may find out that:

1. Mo is BDW's secret son.
Or 2. Mo had incriminating evidence against the DeWitts.
Or 3. BDW & son were more concerned with $ than wins.

Cards will get first chance to beat new or interim manager

Mo is retiring in a couple months . Fire him ?

If you worked for company would you want your boss firing you three months prior to your retirement date you announced a year ago ?

You don’t actually think “3” is in doubt for any of the ownership group, do you?

They will get first chance to face a fired up young team that will come in to St. Louis with a new mgr. and attitude, and possibly take 2 of 3 from the Cardinals.

MO is half out the door anyway and my guess is Bloom has the final say on moves at the deadline.
Oli???
I pray they can him and hopefully at least Pop Warner also.
Don’t laugh but I’d give Skip Schumaker a try.
He did well with the Marlins in 2023.
I’m not saying he’s the best choice but if he was in a car accident and they removed half his brain he’d be 10 times better than Oli!

I've come to realize it's a certainty.

He’s not getting fired.

He’s also not retiring. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to Colorado.
