**ST LOUIS, MO, September 27, 2017** – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that
they have named **_Moises Rodriguez_** as the team’s Assistant General Manager, 
earning a promotion from his duties as Director of International Operations.

Rodriguez, 44, has been a member of the Cardinals organization for the past 10 seasons,
directing the team’s amateur scouting efforts overseas, and supervising the player
development and facility operations at the Cardinals Dominican Republic Academy.

“We are excited to have Moises working with our entire baseball operations team,”
stated Cardinals’ Vice President/General Manager **_Michael Girsch_**.  “Moises 
brings a vast amount of experience to the position, he is well respected within 
the game, and he will continue to lend great vision and passion to the Cardinals
organization in his new role.”

Rodriguez, who was born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, before moving to New York City,
has been working in Major League Baseball since 1998 when he joined the Commissioner’s
Office staff.   During his tenure (1998-2007) with Baseball’s Central Office, Moises
held positions in Major & Minor League Operations, International Baseball Operations
and Media Relations.

A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Rodriguez has been instrumental in 
helping the Cardinals identify and develop numerous international prospects such
as [Carlos Martinez](https://www.baseball-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=martica04,martica03,martica02,martin019car&search=Carlos+Martinez&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-),
[Alex Reyes](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/reyesal02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-),
[Magneuris Sierra](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sierrma01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-)
and the late [Oscar Taveras](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/taveros01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-).
Moises has also supervised the Cardinals newly-built Boca Chica, Dominican Republic
academy that opened in 2015.

Rodriguez moves into the Assistant G.M. position that opened in late June when **
_Michael Girsch_** was promoted to Vice President/General Manager and **_John Mozeliak_**
was named the team’s first-ever President of Baseball Operations.  The team has 
not yet named a replacement as the Director of International Operations, but has
plans to do so early this off-season.
