Theo, Ben and DD would not lie to our faces like Bloom. They would not make a public show about trying to retain a player and then not make a competitive effort to retain a player. At Bloom’s introduction to the season ticket holders, he was put on the spot about Mookie. He said that it was the organization’s highest priority to make Mookie a Red Sox for life. A couple of weeks after that statement, the deadline passed for renewing season tickets. Two to three weeks after that renewal deadline, rumors of trading Mookie started to circulate. I told my friends not to worry that Bloom said that Mookie was the top priority. And then he was gone. I can’t trust the man after that. He made Mookie a top priority for 2-3 weeks. That is ********. And he basically pulled the same BS with Bogey.
