The Boston Red Sox have announced the departure of Chaim Bloom, the team’s Chief Baseball Officer, signaling a change in leadership as they sit at the bottom of the American League East with a 73-72 record. Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry, Chairman Tom Werner, and President and CEO Sam Kennedy notified Bloom of the decision.
In a statement, Henry expressed gratitude for Bloom’s contributions, stating, “Our organization has significant expectations on the field, and while Chaim’s efforts in revitalizing our baseball infrastructure have helped set the stage for the future, we will today begin a search for new leadership.” He praised Bloom’s professionalism, integrity, and respect for the club and its legacy.
Chaim Bloom joined the Red Sox in 2019, bringing with him 15 years of experience from the Tampa Bay Rays. He was appointed as the team’s Chief Baseball Officer after being the sole candidate interviewed for the position from a list of approximately 20 candidates.
The Red Sox currently find themselves 18 games behind the division-leading Baltimore Orioles in the AL East. Their struggles this season have prompted this leadership change, with the hope of a new direction to revitalize the team’s performance.
The Red Sox and the New York Yankees are scheduled to play a day-night doubleheader on Thursday, where they will look to make strides in the division despite their current standings.
