Hiring Details
Flores had worked as assistant general manager of amateur and pro acquisition in St. Louis. He becomes the 15th person to hold the role in franchise history and will be introduced at a news conference on Monday morning.
Team Background
Three assistant general managers along with special adviser Jeff Bagwell handled duties after the Aug. 24 move. The club finished 81-81 and captured the AL West for the fifth time in six years.

Flores joined the Cardinals as director of scouting in 2015 and spent eight seasons from 2019-26 in the assistant general manager role. Earlier he pitched eight seasons in the majors from 2002 to 2010, posting an 11-5 record with a 4.61 ERA and four saves. He appeared in 347 relief outings and three starts across stints with Texas, Colorado, St. Louis and Minnesota.
