This is Mo's Golden Parachute season, only kept around to slash the payroll so it wouldn't (and shouldn't) be on C. Bloom's watch.

After spring training my hope is, like an old General, he simply fades away!

Bloom still has too much to learn from Mo; and Bloom is a slow learner.

Mo rumored to be in discussions with DeWitt on a 2 year extension so Bloom can learn it all before working on his own for a tradition rich team like the Cardinals.

Shady wrote: ↑11 Mar 2025 17:18 pm Just curious. Maybe there are responsibilities he has that aren't obvious. If he really means a reset. He needs to move at least two of these three before the season starts to create spots for younger players. Those three are Arenado, Gray and Fedde. I realize two of the three have NTCs.

I'd imagine that he's done what he's probably always excelled at, which is chap his lips on the bareside of DeWitt's (donkey).

I can't wait til he moves on from the Cards to his new job designing bow ties.

He signed 29 players this off season, oversaw all the new sophisticated equipment that has been purchased, oversaw the hirings of all the new coaches and roving coaches, and is overseeing a huge renovation project at Roger Dean stadium in Jupiter. Other than that, not much.

Bloom made those Minor League coaching adjustments. His recommendation and moves, based off what he saw and feed back from 2024 in the minors, Cranny. Mo doesn't get credit for that.

I thought the best thing he did was moving Leger (AA manager) and Gilkey (1B coach, fielding coach at Palm Beach) to centralized roles in the Minors...they'll rove around to all the leagues. Smartest managers/coaches in the organization.

The biggest travesty was promoting Anderson (Peoria Manager) to Springfield....he's a butcher of pitching arms

I’ll bet Bloom didn’t make all those moves without discussing them with Mo and getting his approval.
So Mo should get some of the credit.

Bloom needed 2 years after being fired before his contract was up in Boston.

Very simple:

1. Payroll did not go up
2. He has a nice family

Yeah, I hope he can accomplish even half the overall success that Mo had. If Bloom pays attention to what Mo teaches, Bloom should do a better job than he did in Boston.

I'm hoping he does.

It's stunning that DeTwit and Mo-ran are tearing this team down and the front office (donkey) kissers continue to argue with anyone who disagrees...but, I'm betting that Tanker the Wanker is a sock.

He did a great job with the minor league system in Boston. When he was forced to trade Mookie, he went out of favor with the fans.

Mo, through a lack of off season activity, is giving him a lot of flexibility going forward with the Cards.

DeWitt, Mo, and Bloom were all well aware of who had No Trade Clause contracts.

They knew the final say ALWAYS belonged to the players, regardless of any lists, regardless of any preliminary talks with potential trade partners. You could say you agree to be traded to the cubs, then if asked later if you are OK to be traded to the cubs you could say NO. No explanation needed or required.

So the front office sees around the bend and knows there may not even be a 2027 season in order to change the pendulum of the bargaining agreement.

No reason to trade anyone at this point.

Mo retires as the best Front Office Executive in Cardinal history, teaches Bloom how to run a Major League franchise, and collects his RED JACKET.

The minor league system waits to be seen. You need to get lucky in the draft. Will there be a Mookie Betts coming out of their draft?

I don't think Boston fans are missing Bloom. I hope he is better than Maxvill.

The minor league pitching was recently rated #3 among 30 organizations. Where he needs to work is on better development of position players, like Davis. And perhaps adding several more through a trade as well.

He will be better than Mo

Maton. His late round draft picks are starting.
