Chaim Bloom, the Jewish former executive of the MLB\u2019s Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays, will take over as president of baseball operations for the St. Louis Cardinals after the 2025 season, team owner and CEO Bill DeWitt Jr. announced<\/a> on Monday during a news conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloom, 41, signed a five-year deal with the Cardinals to succeed the current president of baseball operations John Mozeliak, who will work closely with Bloom to run the club during his final year on the job. Mozeliak has held the position since October 2007 and helped assemble the MLB team that won the World Series in 2011. Current Cardinals general manager Mike Girsch has also been reassigned to vice president of special projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloom was the Red Sox\u2019s chief baseball officer from October 2019 until September 2023. He was fired when the Boston team experienced a pair of last-place finishes. Before that, he was with the Rays for 15 years \u2014 first as an intern in 2005 but he then worked his way up to becoming the team\u2019s senior vice president of baseball operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bloom was hired by St. Louis as an adviser in January and will focus on player development during his transition period, according to DeWitt Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always prided ourselves on drafting and developing our own players,\u201d said the team owner, according to ESPN. \u201cIt\u2019s clear we need to make significant changes to get back to this model. Our baseball decisions going forward will focus on developing our pipeline of players, giving our young core every opportunity to succeed at the major league level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMore than anything, the remarkable success this organization enjoyed for much of the past two-plus decades was fueled by its homegrown talent pipeline,\u201d said Bloom. \u201cThis year, I saw some of the reasons why. I saw the pride in what\u2019s been accomplished here over the years, the passion for teaching the game, the care for the organization, for what it stands for, and especially for our players, and I also saw in many of our staff a hunger to learn, to grow, to get better, to change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition in this area of our industry has been absolutely relentless over the past decade,\u201d Bloom added. \u201cIt takes boldness and humility to get on top and to stay there. And if you stand still and you rest on your memorials for even a moment, you get beaten.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Mozeliak took over as general manager in 2007, the Cardinals have had only one losing season and that was last year. The team finished this season 83-79 but failed to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
