Bloom has painted himself into a corner. He didn’t want to pay top $ for starting pitching and now the only unsigned quality arm is Wacha and he wants 2 years /$30 million. Good job.
There was almost no return on that contract extension. Terrible extension and completely pointless to have done it mid season for a guy that had a history of fading in the second half.
he was also removed after 5 innings and 1 hit with a low pitch count against the Angels at Fenway. That is my recollection. And I think he gave up the hit in the first or second inning.
