Cardinals may fire Marmol due to poor performance
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oli Marmol faces potential job security concerns as the team's performance struggles on the road despite a recent winning streak. His position is under scrutiny. The Cardinals' inconsistent play, especially away from home, has fueled fan criticism despite Marmol's past success and a third-place Manager of the Year vote. The team is in a transitional phase with a front office change looming in 2026. With the team's future front office leadership set to change, a losing season could lead to Marmol's dismissal, potentially opening the door for a new manager like Skip Schumaker, Albert Pujols, or Yadier Molina.
