UNDATED (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals plan to announce Monday that bench coach Oliver Marmol will be promoted to replace fired manager Mike Shildt. That’s according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t revealed the hiring publicly.
The Cardinals dismissed Shildt over organizational differences on Oct. 14, a week after St. Louis lost to the Dodgers on a walk-off homer in the wild-card game. The Redbirds got into the playoff game on the basis of a team-record, 17-game winning streak in September.
