Red Sox hire Chaim Bloom to run baseball ops
Bloom has worked in the Tampa Bay Rays front office since 2005.
The Red Sox have hired Chaim Bloom, the vice president of baseball operations for the Tampa Bay Rays, to run their baseball ops department.
Bloom, who graduated from Yale in 2004 with a degree in classics, joined the Rays in 2005 as an intern. He became steeped in the organizational culture, which emphasized creativity, thorough processes, extensive quality control and feedback, and cross-departmental collaboration.
People inside the Rays organization and around the game rave about Bloom’s executive skills, as well as his personality as a respectful and respected leader.
The Red Sox have been overseen by a four-person interim leadership team — assistant GMs Brian O’Halloran, Eddie Romero, and Zack Scott, and senior vice president Raquel Ferreira — since president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski was fired Sept. 8.
