St. Louis Cardinals new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom has indicated that he is open to spending money as long as it aligns with the overall goal of restoring a winning culture to the club. Any free agency spending would have to be done without damaging improvements made to player development.
Bloom has expressed openness to acquiring starting pitching to bolster a rotation featuring some young arms that could benefit from additional development. Matthew Liberatore, Michael McGreevy, and Andre Pallante are young and doing their best, but they need some good veteran leadership to guide them.
