Chaim Bloom took a featured job for the first time in his career with the Boston Red Sox, spending parts of four seasons as the chief baseball officer beginning in 2023 before being fired on Sept. 14, 2023.
The loaded Red Sox farm system largely in part has Bloom to thank for a total revival since the end of the 2019 season. Top prospects such as Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, Kyle Teel and Kristian Campbell among others joined the organization during Bloom's tenure.
Bloom found his way to St. Louis with the Cardinals following his departure from the Red Sox and will reportedly make strides in that front office entering next season.
According to The Athletic's Katie Woo, Bloom will lead an overhaul of the farm system and make the hire of a fresh director of player development for the Cardinals. Given the aforementioned success of growing Boston's farm system during his tenure, that role should allow Bloom to find comfort and return legitimate growth to his career.
