As the St. Louis Cardinals continue their organizational overhaul, multiple sources indicate the franchise is preparing to name AIR as its next General Manager in the near future. The move would mark another significant step in the team’s evolving leadership structure under new President of Baseball Operations, Chaim Bloom.
Change on the Horizon
With John Mozeliak in the final phase of his transition out of day-to-day operations, Bloom is expected to put his own stamp on the front office by installing a GM aligned with his vision. AIR has reportedly been on Bloom’s radar for some time, and the hiring could be made official within weeks—if not sooner.
“This is part of a natural evolution,” one insider said. “Bloom wants someone in that role who sees the game the way he does and can help implement a long-term strategy from the ground up.”
A Shift in Direction
Should the hire go through, AIR would be tasked with helping reshape the Cardinals’ roster, enhance their player development pipeline, and fully integrate the team’s analytics department into everyday operations.
It would also signify a deeper commitment to innovation, a direction that Bloom has championed since arriving in St. Louis.
Eyes on the Future
While the timing remains uncertain, the front office is expected to move swiftly. With expectations high and the spotlight on Bloom to deliver results, naming a new GM could provide the clarity and momentum needed to push the Cardinals forward.
If the appointment is finalized, it will mark the beginning of a new chapter for one of baseball’s most tradition-rich franchises—one aimed squarely at the future
