The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Chaim Bloom will become the franchise’s new President of Baseball Operations after the 2025 season, replacing John Mozeliak.
The announcement, from Cardinals CEO Bill DeWitt Jr., specified that Bloom, a 41-year old with experience working in the Tampa Bay and Boston organizations, will oversee the Cardinals reset of the player development system during the 2025 season, and then take over for Mozeliak at the season’s conclusion.
St. Louis finished the 2024 season at 83-79, just outside of a National League playoff spot for a second consecutive year. Bloom, fired by the Red Sox in September 2023 as the team’s chief baseball officer, has agreed to a five-year contract in St. Louis.
Mozeliak was named the Cardinals general manager in 2007, ascending to the president of baseball operations a decade later.
