Chaim Bloom To Take Over Baseball Operations For Cardinals In 2026
2 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals team owner and CEO Bill DeWitt Jr. announced on Monday that Chaim Bloom will succeed John Mozeliak as president of baseball operations following next season, and he has agreed to a five-year contract. Bloom was previously a former front-office executive with both the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox. The Cardinals finished 83-79 in 2024 to miss the playoffs for the second straight season. Bloom spent the year as an adviser for the Cardinals. DeWitt described the move as a "period of transition" for the organization. Current general manager Mike Girsch was reassigned to vice president of special projects, while Mozeliak will work closely with Bloom in his final year on the job. St. Louis has had just one losing season (2023) since Mozeliak took over as the GM in 2007, but they have fallen behind on player development recently. Player development will continue to be Bloom's primary area of focus.
