Mozeliak has overseen six National Central Division Champion teams (2009, 2013-15, 2019 and 2022), two N.L. Championships (2011, 2013) and a World Series title in 2011.  The Cardinals have played in 79 postseason games since Mozeliak’s first season( 2008) as GM, second among all National League teams to only the Dodgers (116). Mozeliak is entering his 28^(th) season as a member of the Cardinals front office, having first joined the organization following the 1995 season in the areas of scouting and player development.  During his time with the Cardinals, Mozeliak has led a number of advancements in player development, scouting, player analysis, medical and facilities, while also helping to foster an organizational culture that highly values growth, vision, inclusion and community. #### **— STL —** --- This will be divisive for Cardinal fans. Mozeliak has done pretty well overseeing the draft and making trades, but his free agent track record is a little lacking; he’ll be the first to admit that. He’ll also point out the Cardinals are an organization that is [built through the draft](https://www.nyrdcast.com/2022/07/monday-afternoon-gm-blogger-day-recap-with-john-mozeliak/), be it drafting pieces for the team or using those pieces to acquire the stars they can’t lure on the open market. The down side is he can’t build a full bullpen (look at how many relievers he’s traded for during his tenure) and his teams are playoff contenders, not world series contenders. Either way, he has the track record of success (both in winning records and playoff appearances). ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Cardinals%20Extend%20President%20Of%20Baseball%20Operations%20John%20Mozeliak%20Thru%202025&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fcardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/cardinals-extend-president-of-baseball-operations-john-mozeliak-thru-2025/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
