2024 End of Season Press Conference

Cardinals executives make a major announcement regarding the club's baseball operations leadership.

So nothing if has changed. Man Dewitt has fucked this team up.

[jstymie]

Tells you what you need to know, when the first time Bill DeWitt III spoke after being asked about MLB payroll, he almost immediately shifted into blaming the fans and referencing attendance. You're the 4th richest owners in MLB, you have the resources to draw fans back and fix the player development pipeline without sacrificing the MLB team payroll in the mean time. But no, make your fans the scapegoats, that will put butts back in seats.

[GatoSalvaje]

The same poor bullshit year to year!!
I want to cry! I love Cardinals but the main office is screwing in everything

[GatoSalvaje]

This stupid conference was a joke!!
Bill DeWitt and John Mozeliak spoiled and wasted the best years of Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt

6 division titles since 2008… for the St. Louis cardinals.

That’s good enough for you? We’ll never win anything with Mo and Oli

Dewitt is just an old frail man lost in the late 2000's early 2010's. He still probably thinks Mozeliak is doing a great job. Good grief.

[JacobShah-th]

Get mo and oli out of here they are the problem

[khaleefax]

*Pretty ran down same old words and phrases and cliché sentences. Nothing really of a substance.*

[zhibbard]

My biggest issue with this is Mo and Chaim coming out and saying that things need to change and that's what we're gonna do, then the DeWitt's start chiming in and are completely unwilling to accept any blame or really even admit that anything is really wrong, just that "the league is changing so they need to change too". Then, Mo... and to some extent, Chaim... start walking back the aggressive nature of how they started this presser and start leaning more towards the DeWitt's "well, it's not really broken, we're just gonna tighten it up a bit." Basically, it sounds like the DeWitt's are too proud to admit that they've let the city/fans down with incompetence. They're too busy trying to point back at former success to acknowledge that this team is in bad shape, and they're too arrogant to admit that this is more lip service and they think they can speak over the fans to keep them on the hook. Maybe changes will be made, but just giving Chaim more responsibility and announcing that he will be the man in charge AFTER next season is not enough. Keeping Mo and Oli in their current roles, even for one more year, is telling the fans that they're not really fully on board with a hard reset. More like a slight shuffling.

So as much as things "so call change" they stay the same! @DeWitt you thought a drop of attendance in 2024 was idk was crazy, surprising, warrented. Wait til 2025. With the same fools in charge, We Fans DONT DO CRAZY. We will be back in Busch seats when Mo and Marmol are gone. Pray for 2026.

[Wilco]

Bill Dewitt Jr. after the mics shut off "Well Mo, do you think the rubes bought it?"

[robertcrist]

Just lost me until Mosailok and Marmol are gone. I don't do arrogance. I'll check back when this organization gets serious again.

[RobertGoodwin-ji]

As soon as Woo started the tough questions and the rest of the media followed suit, of course it was time to cut the presser short. I mean why have any accountability in this organization when there hasn’t been any since Jocketty got fired?

[boolikethebear]

its crazy that mozeliak is talking about change, when his position is the one that needs to be changed the most, followed by marmol. having a lame duck in that position is just beyond baffling. buddy drove this franchise into the ground. talking about his 2011 WS... that was 13 years ago. all the success he saw was from players that were already cornerstones of the franchise. just incredibly disappointed with this news.

[sky_frag]

You have me so messed up this team is horrible. CHANGE IS NEEDED like you said and that’s starts with dropping mo and marmol. YOUR ATTENDANCE IS AT A ALL TIME LOW. This is horrible you all no longer know how to run a team for the love of god please get good staff. And drop the old trash ones.

[ErrorMessage]

I see the fans have an overwhelming support for this move! People are raving….




Said no one ever.

[FreedomFightClub]

These guys all breed excitement, the energy behind that press table just exudes pent up energy ready to win.

[thefullmetalbankai]

Bloom is a great fit in St Louis! I'm excited to see how his vision unfolds. Mo does deserve more respect for the moves over the years. Heyward, Beltran, Arenado, and Goldy were great players he brought in. I do think he left a lot on the table lately, and Chaim looks to be a great reset button for the org.

[kingsecho]

How about doing a presser and speak from the heart and not stare at a damn piece of paper!

[davidsiebert]

How did Dewitt pay for ballpark village. Did he divert funds from the cardinals organization to build it. Last year payroll was somewhere around $165 million. They couldn’t have spent $5 million less on the team and put it to the minors
