Five Takeaways From Chaim Bloom’s First Day as Cardinals’ Baseball Operations Chief
Chaim Bloom aims to rebuild the Cardinals after three straight missed playoffs and a weak farm system, following a 78-84 finish this season.
- On Tuesday, Chaim Bloom spoke to the media as he assumes the St. Louis Cardinals' president of baseball operations and said the club will emphasize developing players to return to October baseball.

- CEO Bill DeWitt Jr. acknowledged fan frustration as Bloom announced he will keep manager Oli Marmol while reshaping the front office and roster.
- Given the franchise's legacy, organizational expectations remain high as the St. Louis Cardinals' 11 World Series titles highlight their pursuit of elite talent, which Chaim Bloom says is essential.
