This week, news broke that the New York Mets narrowed their general manager search down to three candidates. Among those three is the 35-year-old Chaim Bloom, who if hired would present a strong chance of change finally coming to this organization.
Bloom a Yale graduate spent years with the Tampa Bay Rays front office. He has had numerous roles with the organization as he organized player development and developed Tampa’s baseball and analytic department. As the baseball world continues to head in that analytic direction the Mets cannot afford to keep lagging behind.
Although he is technically part of a three-man leadership group in Tampa, Bloom has had the responsibilities of a general manager.
