The Cardinals last 10 postseason games have produced a record of 1-9.
The Cardinals last postseason series victory occurred in 2019.
So much for the playoff randomness theory.
As for the front office succession plans, I would imagine Girsch, Flores, and Rodriguez will be moving up in the organization at some point or moving up with a different organization. Mo might depart the Cardinals in three years but that doesn’t necessarily mean he would be retiring.
