With the St. Louis Cardinals' season over following their failure to make the playoffs, Chaim Bloom is now officially the chief of command in the front office.
John Mozeliak had a long, successful run as the President of Baseball Operations, though the plan has been for Bloom to take over for the better part of a year. With resounding support from ownership as he takes the reins, Bloom is now in a position to start making decisions on the fates of key figures within the franchise.
One of the burning questions in the fanbase has been whether or not Bloom would seek his own manager or hold onto Oli Marmol.
