President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom has already made moves to finally kickstart the St. Louis Cardinals rebuild moving Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras, but his next move might be to bring a right-handed power bat into the fold based on what he said earlier this week. The question is whether that bat will come in the form of a veteran free agent or a future star prospect.
If you have the time, I’d recommend watching Chaim Bloom’s online presser this week where he discussed the Willson Contreras trade to the Red Sox. It was around the 16 minute mark that Jeff Jones asked him about what other needs he sees for the 2026 roster.
