"I have known Chaim for a long time and feel that this is a great opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals," Mozeliak said in a news release announcing the hire. "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."
The Cardinals valued Bloom's experience with the Red Sox and before that the Tampa Bay Rays, who he joined in 2005 as an intern. Bloom steadily moved up in the ranks, and when Andrew Friedman left to become president of baseball operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bloom and Erik Neander were promoted to run the organization. They saw the Rays through a rebuilding period that set the stage for their future success.
