The St. Louis Cardinals have made some moves for the future during their end-of-season press conference and one of the blockbuster announcements was that the team was hiring Chaim Bloom as the team's president of baseball operations beginning in 2026. The St. Louis Cardinals knew that John Mozeliak was going to step back following the 2025 season but the plan is now set into motion. Let's discuss what this move means for the team going forward.

Chaim Bloom: St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations

The St. Louis Cardinals have made a drastic organizational shift after hiring Chaim Bloom as the team's next president of baseball operations. He has been one of the top front office personnel for the Tampa Bay Rays, working with them from 2005-19. He would leave the Rays to head to Boston to become the Red Sox's Chief Baseball Officer before being fired on Sept. 14, 2023. Bloom would become an advisor to John Mozeliak following the 2023 season, so he would become very familiar with the St. Louis Cardinals organization as a whole.

Bloom has signed a five-year contract with the team and now will be in charge of the Cardinals' future. This news comes out 24 hours after the team reportedly decided to not pursue impending free agent first baseman Paul Goldschmidt as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He has shown the ability to shape a roster into a winning franchise and with the young talent that the St. Louis Cardinals have on their roster, do not be surprised to see some big names move and the team to continue pushing for the future.
