Red Sox fire chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom after disappointing tenure and multiple last-place finishes

The Boston Red Sox fired Chaim Bloom after four seasons as chief baseball officer.
Bloom was brought in to balance winning now with building for the future, but the team only made the playoffs once during his tenure.
A controversial trade of Mookie Betts early in Bloom's tenure was seen as setting the team back.
The Red Sox struggled in pitching and defense under Bloom, resulting in two last-place finishes.
The team will now conduct a search for new leadership in baseball operations to get them back to a championship level.
