Here is Mo’s quote when hired. “Molly” is team president Molly Jolly.
“I really don’t want to have to be in the seat of a general manager for like five years,” Mozeliak said. “But there could be a position or a role that makes sense for me to stay around. In the meantime, I think I can be very helpful on really bridging the gap for someone like Molly, who is coming from the business side, to oversee baseball operations.”
My interpretation was and is still that if they created a POBO, he might be interested.
Seems pretty clear that Mo has been moved to the sideline. This Athletic article indicates that last month, Mo endorsed the return of manager Kurt Suzuki for 2027. Instead, Suzuki and all his coaches were let go earlier this week.
Also, Mo said he will be leaving when his contract ends in December.
“Once new leadership is in place, I will step away,” he said.

This article indicates that Kroenke will be hiring a POBO. It just isn’t going to be Mo.
(However, this is from SI and I haven’t seen this declaration elsewhere.)
Yep, inside this article:
Now there’s some clarity on the front office plan as well. The club will look for a new leader to steer them into the future. It’s unclear how long the search will last but presumably not too long. Mozeliak says the new hire will decide about the club’s next manager. It’s also fair to assume the new general manager will also have strong input about the club’s plans for a return to contention.
