More changes are coming to the St. Louis Cardinals front office, this time swiping two critical names from rival organizations.
Last offseason, the Cardinals found themselves overhauling their player development department, led by the hiring of assistant general manager Rob Cerfolio, and the staff he put in place beneath him in the area of player development and performance. Now, Chaim Bloom is expanding the Cardinals' scouting department, as Katie Woo and Chandler Rome of The Athletic are reporting that St. Louis has hired Joe Douglas to oversee the professional scouting department and Jacob Buffa as their international scouting director.
