Ex-Red Sox boss Chaim Bloom hired as advisor by St. Louis Cardinals
Several months after being let go as Red Sox chief baseball officer, Chaim Bloom has landed a new role with another major league club.
Monday afternoon the St. Louis Cardinals announced that Bloom has been hired as an Advisor to the President of Baseball Operations, a role in which he’ll assist Cardinals boss John Mozeliak in a variety of baseball matters.
“I’m excited to join the Cardinals and to be a part of this great organization,” Bloom said in a statement. “Mo and his team have given me such a warm welcome, and I’m eager to build relationships here and to learn, contribute, and help us win.”
“I have known Chaim for a long time and feel that this is a great opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals,” Mozeliak said. “It will be good to get an outside perspective of our organization from someone who is as well-respected as Chaim. Having a fresh set of eyes on all aspects of our baseball operations should be helpful.”
Bloom had been linked to the Cardinals for much of the offseason, and now he’ll have a hand in helping the storied franchise turn things around after a dreadful 2023 season. St. Louis finished last in the division for the first time since 1990, and it’s 71-91 record was its worst since that same year.
