Cardinals Announce Leadership Shift Amid Injuries

John Mozeliak will remain in his role as the Cardinals' president of baseball operations for the final year of his contract, with many duties shifting to Chaim Bloom in 2025. Bloom, who has been advising the team since January, is expected to revamp the team’s farm system and significantly influence player development. The Cardinals are dealing with several injuries, including Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, and JoJo Romero, all expected to return in 2025. The Boston Red Sox made their final roster moves of the 2024 season, including optioning Zach Penrod and calling up Quinn Priester, who will start in the season finale. Priester, recently acquired from the Pirates, has shown promise with improved fastball velocity. The Arizona Cardinals elevated Angelo Blackson and Charlie Heck from the practice squad ahead of their Week 4 game, with Heck potentially starting due to injuries on the offensive line.
