Chaim Bloom to Succeed John Mozeliak as Cardinals' President of Baseball Operations in 2026

Mozeliak will oversee baseball operations for his final season in 2025, with Bloom focusing on revamping player development.

Chaim Bloom has signed a five-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals and will take over as president of baseball operations after the 2025 season.
John Mozeliak will remain in his role through 2025, focusing on restructuring the player development system and handling general manager duties.
The Cardinals plan to reduce their major league payroll for 2025 to reallocate resources towards improving their minor league system.
General Manager Michael Girsch will transition to a 'special projects' role, and the team will expand its staff in player development and analytics.
Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. and Mozeliak emphasize this shift is a 'reset' rather than a rebuild, aiming to return the Cardinals to their competitive roots.
