Chaim Bloom was introduced as the St. Louis Cardinals' next president of baseball operations on Tuesday. After three seasons of disappointment, it appears Cardinals fans may have some things to cheer for soon.
Bloom discussed drawing lessons from the past, such as those from Branch Rickey and George Kissell, to combine with current strategies and implement a plan specifically for the Cardinals to return to their winning culture. The Dewitt ownership appears excited to work with Bloom and promises to provide the resources necessary for Bloom to do his job.
While this has always been a philosophy of the Dewitt family, they appeared reluctant in recent seasons.
