When the St. Louis Cardinals announced that Chaim Bloom would be succeeding John Mozeliak as the Cardinals' president of baseball operations last year, long-time general manager and vice president Michael Girsch was moved off of the GM role so that Bloom could choose his own second in command when the time came.
In the near future, we should expect to hear who Bloom has picked to be his general manager to begin his tenure running the Cardinals, and recent news out of Tampa Bay may give us a tease as to who his pick could be.
