The Red Sox made official their hire of Chaim Bloom as chief baseball officer.
The team will introduce the 36-year-old in a press conference that begins at 1:30 p.m.
“We believe Chaim is exactly the right person to lead the Boston Red Sox baseball operation based on a number of attributes we sought in this process,’’ said Red Sox principal owner John Henry. “We had done exhaustive work narrowing down candidates. That work led us to Chaim, who was the first executive invited to Boston for an interview. He made a strong impression on all of us and validated our initial research that he was the one to lead our baseball operation.
