Red Sox announced they have fired GM Chaim Bloom

Kings Of Boston



The Boston Red Sox on Thursday announced that they have parted ways with Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom.

Bloom was notified of the club’s decision by Red Sox Principal Owner John Henry, Chairman Tom Werner, and President & CEO Sam Kennedy.

Red Sox fans will be glad this era has passed. Although Bloom was able to restore the minor league system, he made countless errors with the big league club, including getting a minimal return for Mookie Betts and losing Xander Bogaerts for nothing when they knew they wouldn’t be able to re-sign him. Pair that with a series of last plce finishes in the division, it spells time for Chaim Bloom to kick rocks.

“While parting ways is not taken lightly, today signals a new direction for our club,” said Principal Owner John Henry. “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. Everyone who knows Chaim has a deep appreciation and respect for the kind of person he is. His time with us will always be marked by his professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering respect for our club and its legacy.”

Bloom was named Chief Baseball Officer on October 28, 2019. He has worked in baseball for 19 years, starting as an intern for the Tampa Bay Rays, where he spent 15 years of his career preceding his time with the Red Sox.
