Oli Marmol will be back as Cardinals manager in 2026, POBO Chaim Bloom said Tuesday morning.

Coming off a 78-84 season, the Cardinals are planning to probably be worse in 2026, as they hope some of their veterans who declined to waive no-trade clauses in the past prove amenable now. As a result, there’s no reason to move on from Marmol at this point. That quite possibly will come in 2027, when Bloom and company probably will aim to return to contention.
