Source: Red Sox to hire Rays' Chaim Bloom as head of baseball operations
The Boston Red Sox have agreed to hire Tampa Bay Rays executive Chaim Bloom as their new head of baseball operations, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Terms were not available. The New York Post was first to report the Red Sox would hire the Rays' senior vice president of baseball operations.
Bloom, 36, will succeed Dave Dombrowski, whom the Red Sox fired as president of baseball operations in September, less than a year after winning the 2018 World Series. Boston failed to make the playoffs this season, finishing 84-78, 19 games behind the American League East champion Yankees.
