Oct. 25: Bloom is “likely” to be hired by the Red Sox, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman adds, via Twitter, that the Red Sox are “close” to appointing him as the new head of their baseball operations department.
Oct.24: Rays VP of baseball operations Chaim Bloom is among those to have interviewed for the Red Sox GM opening, according to reporting from Chad Jennings and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (Twitter link). The club’s hiring search has been notably quiet since the dismissal of president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, but Jennings says the process “seems to be coming to an end.” ESPN’s Jeff Passan adds that “multiple sources” believe Bloom will ultimately get the job (Twitter link).
Bloom, 36, has been in the mix for several high-profile executive jobs in recent years. The Yale graduate was reported as the runner-up to Brodie Van Wagenen in the Mets search for a new GM last year, while San Francisco also considered him for the leadership position that ultimately went to Farhan Zaidi. The Twins and Phillies were also said to have considered Bloom for a GM role in recent seasons.
Though youthful by most standards, Bloom is a front office veteran with over 15 seasons of experience in the Tampa Bay front office. After beginning as an intern with the organization in 2005, Bloom worked in minor league operations for several years before being named as director of baseball operations in 2011. The Philadelphia native was promoted to the role of vice president of baseball operations in 2014, with a “senior” title being attached to that role in 2016 when the club also promoted Erik Neander to GM.
The Red Sox parted ways with Dombrowski on Sept 8 — less than 12 months after the club captured the 2018 World Series title. The organization has since entrusted operations to assistant GMs Eddie Romero, Zack Scott, and Brian O’Halloran, as well as senior vice president of major and minor league operations Raquel Ferreira.

Chaim Bloom is my choice for Red Sox GM
pasha2k
Well…..we’ll…let’s see what happens.
DarkSide830
isnt that essentially a latteral move?
Sasha C. Handelman
Yes he’d the GM of the Rays so he’d be coming in as a president of Baseball Ops
windycitykid89
He’s not the GM of the Rays. He’s the VP of Baseball Operations.
Sasha C. Handelman
That’s right Silverman is the President
deweybelongsinthehall
Not a lateral move if he comes in as the team’s president. No other way he could even have been interviewed. No way the Rays would give consent but since it’s a step up, their consent wasn’t needed.
frankiegxiii
I thought Erik Neander was the Rays GM, the article here says Blloom is senior VP of baseball ops. It seems like it would be a step down to become a GM, or is it a step up to become a GM in a large market team like the Red Sox?
Ejemp2006
Running the Rays means you’re running the best AAA team in the history of baseball. Most baseball people worth a darn go to Tampa to learn how to innovate, not win a championship.
The RedSox on the other hand are always legit, even when they’re a hundred years or so between championships.
My guess is Chaim learned some new trick that he’ll bring to Boston to help them get smart again.
kc38
Neander is the GM and Bloom is below him who has a lot of say but really no power to pull any triggers, would be step up to be GM of Red Sox and much better pay im sure
stratcrowder
Ejemp….really? That’s a rookie league comment.
Ejemp2006
Have you been to Tropicana? The Yankee spring training facility, located 5 miles away, is light years better then the Rays’ home.
Have you seen the Rays’ operating model? Develop stars and ship them out to the real big league contenders. Just like a super great AAA team.
SG
The new trick is old fashioned hard work, coaching and player development.
Knowing the talent, getting and developing the talent.
Getting rid of the over priced players.
mustang66
Sox are a mess and need a rebuild. Bloom does that well I just dont see alot of tradeable assets unless he trades Bogarts and SDebers along with Betts. Cant get much from an old injured and expensive rotation. I wish him luck
Ejemp2006
Championships come at a cost that the Rays won’t pay. Royals made the blue print, sign a Shields type and trade for a Cueto type to bring it home.
The collective Tampa Ray butt hole puckers tighter then a snare drum when some calls asking about a prospect, even if the trade would help push the Rays over the top.
kc38
Royals traded for shields as well, shows how much you know
Sabermetric Acolyte
By Debers can I assume you meant Devers? Devers is 22 and coming off of a very strong second full season. I would not be shocked to see him in the top 10 MVP votes this year and every sign is he’s improving still. He’s a core player, untradeable unless for an equally good young pitcher. As for Bogaerts he just signed an extension and went out and showed he’s worth it so he’s staying. At this point it’s more about creative bookkeeping and looking for diamonds in the rough for the Red Sox.
clepto
ejemp, you are a complete and total moron. period.
you have zero clue on economics of baseball….zero.
phamdownbytheriver
So let me get this straight. The Red Sox with the unlimited budget will poach a front office guy from this so called AAA franchise who are unlucky to have an uninvolved owner? The Rays do more with less than any other team.
fljay73
Over the last 10 years name more than a few players that have maintained their All Star level play after leaving Tampa?
David Price is one.
Carl Crawford (got hurt/never rebounded), Chris Archer (has struggled), Odorizzi has pitched very well, Longoria has been so-so & Shields has been so-so.
So your reply needs a lil correcting.
matt4baseball
You obviously never been to the fully domed Tropicana stadium. Though it is showing wear and tear it is still a beautiful stadium compared to the Yankees spring training facility. As for Bloom-Good luck Boston with that.
bradkreppel99
LOL I can’t tell if this is sarcastic
clepto
I have been to both stadiums. Tropicana is awful. Not sure which is worse? Oakland, Toronto or Trop. And I have been to those as well. But ejemp still has zero clue what he is talking about. Nearly as clueless as Themed.
phamdownbytheriver
It is bad. When you’ve been to a few of the more impressive stadiums and you visit the Trop….it’s a hugh letdown. I’m a Rays fan but the experience is not good. Catwalks….speakers….concrete back wall…not water or city view? Yuck.
BadCo
Guys just about every teams structure Varys within the titles. That’s nothing new!
deweybelongsinthehall
Not the GM. Would be the head of the department per the article, something he’s not today, regardless of titles.
deweybelongsinthehall
I lived in the East Bay Area back in 1981 and then I loved the empty stadium that allowed fans to tip and sit in prime seats. What I also remember is they had the first real hi-fi system and the music was great. Also remember getting high at Raider games without smoking. Everyone else was stoned. Never root against the Raiders then in their own building …
pasha2k
Must…. have you lost your mind? What crazy person would trade Boggy, Raffy, AND Betts? Betts should be traded, but Boggy n Raffy are the cornerstones if the infield, n besides they are fantastic hitters. You must be an Evil Empire fan.
MoRivera 1999
Price struggled in Boston up to 2018, when he finally shook off his postseason heebie jeebies, Overall, he hasn’t been worth $217MM. Unless you call one postseason worth $217M to one player.
MoRivera 1999
Are we talking about the Evil Empire that bought the ’18 WS with the highest payroll?
fits65
Except that he would be working for a John Henry—so he would be responsible for mopping the floors and answering questions when John Henry makes a rash decision and ducks the press.
Stay Put Chaim.
deweybelongsinthehall
Agreed on the former but welcome aboard Chaim.
dynamite drop in monty
These titles are all but meaningless now. Business card chest puffing. Corpbabble. He will probably be named Executive Intendant of Field Personnel Tenureship or ROSTER CHANCELLOR.
Show Me Your Tatis
Might be a lateral move in title but certainly not in power and responsibilities. Like, 3 years ago, Mike Hazen went from being the general manager of the Red Sox to being the general manager of the Diamondbacks. But everyone knows Dave Dombrowski was the one actually calling the shots in Boston. Now in AZ, Hazen actually calls the shots. Similarly, Erik Neander is the guy calling the shots in Tampa right now.
LADreamin
Probably the best GM candidate available, will do for the Red Sox what Friedman, Cashman and Luhnow have done for their clubs.
frankiegxiii
He should be the Dodgers GM!
crazylarry
Hopefully he won’t do what Friedman and Cashman have done. Zero titles in 11 years.
LADreamin
It’s not like they play the games. They’ve built competitive teams, but it just hasn’t happened. Still in the playoffs every year, I’ll take it.
redsox18
Making the playoffs every year and not winning a championship isn’t enough for the big market teams.
LADreamin
No, it isn’t enough, but you can’t cry about it. They’re spending 200M every year and sometimes the bounce just doesn’t go your way. Farm systems are loaded and they make trade deadline acquisitions, what more do you want?
PhanaticDuck26
no, it’s not enough to just make the playoffs, I agree; you need rings. But at a certain point you have to quit blaming management for the guys simply getting beat on the field in a postseason environment that is dramatically different from the regular season. Ultra-Aggressive, big-pocket teams do not win every year, yet they damn well try to acquire talent even at the cost of trading top prospects for a two-month rental, or spending stoooopid money in the offseason. Is Dodgers mgmt really to blame for their loss this year? IF you really want to find a scapegoat, then sure, blame them. But I’d be willing to bet that most of us are in agreement that 7 times out of 10 the Dodgers would have won that series against the Nats; It just didn’t happen this time.
deweybelongsinthehall
To win. There has to be a combination and a title or two along the way. Financially it justifies the payroll. The teams all make money but championships improve the team’s worth because ratings increase, they sell more merchandise/food/tickets, etc. and can charge more in doing so. Championships also add eyeballs to TV and ears to radio which in turn allows for higher rights fees be it network or local, no matter how you evaluate things, winning championships adds to the bottom line.
deweybelongsinthehall
Management secured the players. Luck sometimes plays a role but so does making choices. Some players perform under pressure and others don’t. Management gets credit on moves that work and should take part of the blame when they don’t.
MoRivera 1999
If they make a bad deal and overpay for a player, sure, but if a solid player underperforms for no good reason, I don’t see blaming management the right thing to do. Panda (Boston) and Ellsbury (NYY) were foreseeably bad management deals. Harper was not. HE simply did not perform up to his capabilities.
SG
If he doesn’t get it done remember it will be for a fraction of the cost Boston’s paying now to lose.
LOL
Eightball611
I agree…I’m glad Boston acted now before it turned into the tigers however the damage is done…positive is they won now..negative its gonna take a few years to restructure
deweybelongsinthehall
No damage. Dombrowski did what he always did and what the team paid him to do. He focused short term and got them a title. Blame ownership if you don’t like the way he did it. The team gave its blessing when he was hired. The only moves I questioned at the time and in hindsight were adding so many other players to the Shaw trade and the extension for Sale given his injuries and the team’s desire to get under the cap.
pasha2k
Dewy, DD was hired to win the WS n he did his job. You can’t get quality unless you give up something that hopefully both teams win, cept anyone trading with the Evil Empire gets back nothing.
MoRivera 1999
Evil Empire. You mean Boston? After all they bought the ’18 WS with the highest payroll by a mile.
acell10
you can blame Dombrowski for overplaying both with contracts and with trades. I’m grateful for 18 and glad the sox won but that doesn’t mean he made some piss poor decisions along the way.
jdgoat
As a fan of a rival AL East team, I am not a fan of this.
jbigz12
Damn. Right there with you. Adding a mind like Bloom’s to the Red Sox FO makes it that much harder for Elias and the orioles to build this thing back up. I was hoping for another year of Dave Dombrowski’s farm system gutting and expensive FA/extensions. Would be a great hire if he takes the position. Don’t see why he would not. Boston is one of the ideal landing spots.
deweybelongsinthehall
Give Dombrowski the keys to Baltimore and he produces. How bad was Detroit when he got there? He immediately got Cabrera. Amazing move then. It was the subsequent extension that is killing them.
jbigz12
I’m not saying his methods have not worked in the past. They are just not sustainable. And no I personally do not believe that Dombrowski could take the Orioles to where we ultimately want to go. He has not built a team that way in a long time. His strategies in Boston and Detroit would not and could not be applied here. We simply will not spend that kind of money. I don’t even think that strategy is conducive to success any longer unless you have a strong core of young talented controllable guys to begin with.
I don’t have a problem if you like DD’s style. I just don’t see how his style in this day and age could ever work for a team in a ground up rebuild. I suspect you’ll never see him overseeing one again.
mt in baltimore
That Bloom fellow is quite a talent–still scratching my head as to why the Orioles didn’t hire him at this time last year…
Black Ace57
The Orioles got a pretty good guy with good qualifications.
Ironman_4life
The Houston team currently in the WS was built by Elias.
sacball
He probably insisted on signing international talent
Sasha C. Handelman
Bloom has the talent and experience of being in the AL East and learning from Friedman! He’d be an excellent choice
qbass187
They’re hiring Robbie Rotten?
Black Ace57
Haha I can’t unsee that

I was going to say he looked like the dude from LazyTown

He should have been the Mets GM but they hired a clown instead.

Why the rays wouldn’t do everything they can to keep this guy

He’s the assistant gm, really makes no decisions right now anyways. He’s. Great executive and would hurt but Neander is the gm and is also extremely smart

Vp of baseball ops is not the assistant gm

Neander is president and he’s Vice President, the Rays don’t employ a GM therefore it’s the same exact title of assistant gm

AtlSoxFan
Well, except for TB
bobtillman
It would be an interesting hire (one that I called a while ago….pats himself on back). Bloom’s obviously a bright guy, and he’s YOUNG….some within the inner sanctum were known to have complained that things were getting a bit stodgy in Boston.
It ain’t gonna be easy. John Henry has a zillion “special advisors” (some of whom no doubt are sharpening their knives as we speak), and Bloom’s going to have to deal with each of them. And, unlike in Tampa, he HAS to win here; there’s just too much financial failure attached to another year like this one.
OTOH, he’ll have an owner who, despite the realization that the Golden Age of increased franchise value is likely over, will open the vault and say “take what you need”.
He may decline; there’s a certain comfort in being the big fish in the small pond (see Beane, Billy). But my GUESS is it’s his if he wants it.
joshua.barron1
Well said sir!
SG
Don’t agree. He doesn’t have to win.
He has to get great ROI (Return on Investment)
John Henry has seen the light.
Tampa has almost always been “in it” under Bloom’s watchful eye.
With a budget a fraction of Boston’s.
Now he’ll have more money to win it all.
And do so at the lowest price possible.
Say good bye to the over priced prima donas going forward.
Say hello to the no name low priced guys like you have in Tampa that just get it done. Moneyball at it’s best.
This man will build a dynasty in Boston.
jbigz12
He does have to win it eventually. They won’t have a guy there for 6-7 seasons who has not won been to a World Series. He’ll have to get there.
He also won’t have a ton of cash to play with initially. He’s not starting from 0 here. There’s contracts on the payroll he’s inheriting. Some not so hot. He also inherited the worst farm in the league. So while Boston is always a hell of a desitnation; he’ll certainly have his work cut out.
MoRivera 1999
He does have to win. Boston has become a win it all now every year team. And they are willing to pay for it. That’s the part that’s changed.
AtlSoxFan
When you consider that Henry tried to get Beane to come to Boston, then turned to Theo to try and do what he did…
This move would make sense. Really it is DD who was the somewhat surprise outsider that departed from Henry’s organizational approach, but, I’d imagine there was trepidation with the pattern worst-first-worst. Had some more consistency been there, with a few less last place finishes, There wouldn’t have been a need for DD to come to town.
No, this makes too much sense and I’d imagine the job is there for Bloom to take as well.
Ashtem
Yes let’s get him
GMB 883
Seems like Chaim is a stud. I wonder if the interviewed Tim Naehring VP for Cashman and former Sox player for 8 years. Speculation is he would be a good candidate. If Chaim comes in the question will be, can he handle Boston. The media is tough and of Mookie and JD move on, it will not be easy for anyone who comes in especially if Sale and Price are both still having arm issues with all the $ tied up in both. I guess that’s why you pay the GM or Pres of Baseball Ops the big bucks.
Sasha C. Handelman
If Chaim is the choice, I think while not easy to do, he’d have some potential ways to both reduce payroll trade (JBJ), Trade Mookie??? reload a up and coming farm system. The most important trick will be finding ways to move dead money like Price.
Sabermetric Acolyte
My guess is he’ll do nothing about Price, Sale, and Eovaldi. The truth is what can he do besides hope he can find a pitching coach who can understand their woes. But Boston can absorb big money problems in a way teams like Tampa cannot. What Boston needs, in my opinion, is what someone like Bloom can presumably bring to the table. Do more with less.
brickhaus
He was able to do it with Longoria. I bet Wilpon is already salivating about adding one of those guys coming off a bad season.
madmc44
He’s young, he’s smart, he’s had a lot of experience In addition he’s been on a roller coast ride to an appearance in the playoffs
Why not put him in with 4 or 5 other people with Sox experience. They might not be happy but you don’t want just 4 or 5 happy people; you want a Red Sox Nation of happy people.
SG
He has been one of my top choices.
He would add a great deal to Boston’s roster, drafting and player development.
Hope he gets the job.
letimmysmoke55

You have to imagine he has a lot to do with Tampa’s success lately. Imagine what Chaim can do with Boston’s payroll. As a fan of another AL East team, I’m wish Chaim had gone to the NYM rather than Boston

Sock puppet of driftcat28?
Sabermetric Acolyte
Well you basically hit the nail on the head. None of us really know his abilities. There’s the presumption that while under Friedman and during his time in Tampa he helped turn a perpetual last place team into a perennial challenger in a division that contains usually two of the top three spenders.
MoRivera 1999
What I’d like to know is how well-founded is that “presumption.”
bobtillman
It’ll be fascinating to watch. There’s some scuttlebutt that Henry/Warner might sell in the next couple of years; they may feel they’ve milked the cow dry. That will mean a streamlining of operations, and Bloom certainly has learned how to do that. The owners may have very well decided that throwing money at all the inevitable issues that arise just doesn’t have the return it used to. Interestingly, the same thing is happening to Amazon this morning.
Bloom’s tenure in Tampa lines up with a much more efficient and productive scouting/player development operation. The Sox definitely need that; their drafts have been terrible, the farm system is basically dry, caused by poor judgements and a “win now!” philosophy that has permeated the organization.
The rewards for that method of operation have waned, and it doesn’t look to be getting any better. It’s time to do some cost cutting.
Sabermetric Acolyte
Where are you hearing the rumors of Henry/Warner selling?
bobtillman
Sale or not, there’s likely a paradigm shift happening in Boston. How much money can you grab from every fanny in the seat? How much ad revenue can NESN continue to produce? There are ceilings for each of those things, or at least a diminishing rate of return.
And nobody thinks the increase in franchise valuation will continue. EVERY team has at least tripled in value over the past 15 years; it didn’t matter if they were poorly run or very well run; if they won a lot of games or didn’t. The Sox have just excelled at it; they’ve grown 5 times in value, instead of the industry wide 3 times.
And, oh by the way, Fenway continues to crumble; there’s just so much glue in the jar.
When you have an extra 200 grand hanging around, why not give it to Pedro Martinez to “advise” you. You MIGHT get some worth out of that. You WON’T get anything by paying it in taxes; 200K won’t even buy four toilet seats.

No idea how the Mets thought Brodie was a better candidate
metnoxious
Similar to the Joe Girardi scam the Mets had this guy in their grasp. Been working in baseball since 2004. Bright, young and a history with a successful organization. Instead they hire communication major and agent with no experience in a front office Brodie. Here are the Mets phrases they like to scam their fans with. A hire “outside the box” or a “bombshell candidate.” Interpreted these mean people that Jeff can control and use his high school education to outsmart. Bloom would have been a threat as would Girardi have been a threat to Brodie and Jeff. That’s why you get Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano.
Buddy “Bud” Hull
There goes my dream Mariners scenario. Stupid smart move making Sox.
whyhayzee
This is a very creative hire. Top of the taxonomy pyramid!
goldenmisfit
This is a smart move by Boston. They are looking into seriously slashing their payroll and who better to hire then an executive from the Tampa Bay organization.
g8752
Should the Red Sox hire Bloom it will be very interesting to see how he changes the current MLB players on the Red Sox and who he acquires for MiLB players going forward. It also will be very interesting to see how Boston’s payroll goes down. This should change the game where the “big boys” adopt the little team’s philosophy and can add an aging free agent to be player at the trade deadline, assuming they are in it, and let him go after the season ends. This will likely lead to changes per the Players Union to protect the older FA players who will become less desirable financially because of this changing market.
g8752
PS – Keep in mind the smaller teams that are using this philosophy of inexpensive young Talent like Tampa has used and to a certain extent Oakland will have two things occur. First Boston will be competing with them for the very players that they would normally acquire and second the smaller teams are very unlikely to be paying free agents big bucks so this is also bad news for aging free agent players.
Norm Chouinard
Happy for Chaim. Got to meet him once and he was always kind and supportive toward baseball people that I saw. Cut from a similar cloth as Friedman. It’s not simple transferring the skills to move from a successful $60MM to a $240MM budget. But I suspect that he will figure it out.
g8752
Glad to hear from someone that has actually met him and it will be a bit of a challenge initially for him to move from a successful 60 million dollar budget to an unsuccessful 240 million dollar budget but I suspect it’s a nice problem to have for both him and the Red Sox and I am fascinated from a financial standpoint to see teams with big money finally showing the financial sense it takes to properly run a profitable business rather than just acquiesce to the dog chasing its tail mentality that seems to be prevailing where teams are throwing huge dollars after free agents and getting generally poor results. The worst part of that is not just losing the money and not being in the race but it handcuffs a team from using that money to find and develop young Talent for the future. That’s exactly the problem Boston has right now. They drained their young talent to go for it and all they have left is money and all they can get with that money is a bunch of expensive free agents that on average don’t seem to be worth the money.
g8752
I’m thinking FA’s of the future will see more contracts like what Moustakas is currently getting with a base salary a short term deal and with incentives if they produce.
sawxfan82
He wouldn’t have signed Sale to his extension when DD. Wouldn’t have given Eovaldi that insane amount of money that DD did…. Red Sox probably would be under the luxury tax and not having to make any rash decisions right now. live and learn. Welcome to Boston hopefully!!
SG
Don’t understand why you are talking about things that everyone knows were mistakes? THAT’S WHY DD WAS FIRED.
There are no rash decisions being made just ownership adopting a new long over due course correction for the Boston Red Sox.
sawxfan82
Just saying he doesn’t got a team and hinder them for the future. Now it worked for one year obviously with the World Series victory but smarter decisions needed to be made after it. Obviously those are the reason DD was fired, I know that
