Just speculating, but the Cardinals front office may have offered it as a path to becoming the full time manager in 2027 once Oli’s contract expires. Would give the team some time to adjust to the new direction and would give Yadi a full year to get major league coaching experience.
Make him the pitching coach and get rid of Dusty
Nice try. You fooled me last year with Holliday.
Co-managers?
This is clearly a sign that Oli is going to run for governor of Florida.
OhpleaseOhpleaseOhplease 🙏
In my mind I link this to Herrera returning to catcher. Either way it could be amazing for our seemingly endless catcher prospects.
Now that the smug hated Mo is gone, real baseball men can come back into the organization.
Please let Oli get tossed in the first inning of every game 🙏🏼
Don’t understand how this gets more butts in the seats.
FYI the original article all of this is coming from never says anything about it being full-time. (Full disclosure, I don’t read Spanish, so I’m relying on Google translate.)
It’s already been reported that Oli invited both Yadi and Waino to spring training in 2026. This sounds like more than that, but everything Yadi has said in the past year is that he’s not ready to do FT coaching in 2026 because of family.

Please let this happen!
Yes. Shit, put him back behind the dish.
