What happened: The Cardinals announced Bill DeWitt III has been named CEO of the organization. Anuk Karunaratne has been elevated to President of Business Operations as part of the executive leadership changes.
Why it matters: The moves formalize the club's business-side leadership at the top of the organization. DeWitt III had been a central figure in Cardinals operations, while Karunaratne's promotion gives the franchise a new lead voice over business operations.
By the numbers: The Cardinals are 42-35 this season, averaging 4.6 runs scored and 4.6 runs allowed. Their series with Arizona is tied 1-1 entering the scheduled next game.
What to watch: Watch for the club to clarify how Bill DeWitt Jr.'s role fits into the updated leadership structure. The next test is how the new arrangement shapes business operations during the 2026 season.
