St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Cardinals announced Saturday that senior vice president and general manager John Mozeliak has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the team through the 2018 season.

Mozeliak has served as the team's general manager the last six seasons (2008-2013). The Cardinals have advanced to the postseason four times, winning a World Series title in 2011 and making the World Series in 2013, during his tenure as GM.

The 45-year-old Mozeliak has been a member of the Cardinals' front office since 1995.
