The St. Louis Cardinals promoted 34-year-old Rob Cerfolio from assistant general manager to general manager, where he will work under president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom. Cerfolio joined St. Louis from the Cleveland Guardians in 2024 after rising through their player-development operation, and he has overseen changes to the Cardinals’ player-development staff and farm system. The promotion follows Randy Flores’s departure to become the Houston Astros’ general manager and keeps a rising executive with other front-office experience in the organization.
