Chaim Bloom, the 41-year-old Jewish baseball executive, has been named the president of baseball operations for the St. Louis Cardinals starting in 2026. Bloom previously served as the chief baseball officer for the Boston Red Sox, where he focused on lowering payroll and improving the team's farm system. Despite facing instances of antisemitism during his time in Boston, Bloom has established himself as a respected figure in the sport. He will now work on overhauling the Cardinals' player development department in hopes of turning the team's fortunes around.
