they did what?

When the St. Louis Cardinals come to bat tonight at Busch Stadium, the familiar figure of Chris Maloney will be missing from the third-base coaching box. As part of a series of personnel moves today, the reeling Cardinals announced that the Jackson native and Mississippi State alum has been reassigned within the organization. How that will help a 26-32 team that is coming off an 0-7 road trip remains to be seen. Maloney has been on the Cardinals’ big league staff since 2012, starting out as the first-base coach. He was a minor league manager for 18 years, 15 of those in the St. Louis system.
