Kim Ng hasn't been mentioned as receiving or declining an interview.
-
It’s whoever is willing to work with BOH and Wormtongue without complaining.
-
The EVP is not a promotion.
-
The issue isn't the losing or the 4 year firings. I think the issue is that there isn't any room for turnover in the FO as I noted earlier. When you take this job, you're stuck with the people already employed. This is JH's vision of a FO, not the the next CBO's. That's why Click and others will either drop out or not interview. Keeping BOH around was a bad idea.

Dansby Swanson had a 104 OPS+, but ended the season with 4.9 fWAR this year. Yeah, I'd take that...
-
I'm not specifically calling you out, but there are several posters on here who group other posters into the Bloom Squad or Kimmi's Gang or whatever. Then when you ask who's part of it, you never get a response. I will quote tweet those posters and they never ever respond. I never made a post complaining about Bloom Bashers. To me, it's the same thing as complaining about Pink Hats. We're all here because we want the Red Sox to win (maybe too obsessively). I don't think there was anyone who was so down on Bloom that would have trashed him if he actually made a slam dunk great move. For a long time, A700 HATED Theo and called him every name in the book. Did that mean he wrote him off, didn't want him to succeed and would never be excited about him? No! He even changed his avatar to "Super Theo" after the AGon/Crawford moves. I believe the half of the board that didn't like Bloom would have changed their minds if he just did moves that they liked, so why group people into some negative subgroupings that are relatively meaningless?
-
That may not help. The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be.
-
Would.
-
Is the Bloom Squad just a sneaky way of complaining about moon and nobody else then? moon is a one man gang?
-
Oh, you definitely were known for holding your tongue before.
-
Just get someone who can make moves at the deadline and not be a f***ing tortoise in the offseason FA market. Low bar?
-
Nah. Miss me with that. He would have been worth well more than his contract if he stayed healthy in 2022. Even only playing less than 2/3's of the season, he still only under performed the contract by 4M.
-
If he keeps his current defense and has a 100 wRC+ like in 2022, he'll be worth the contract. Just be 2022 Story, but stay healthy.
-
A really great poster compared the two players' numbers in previous posts. I think there should be a 2nd year bump.
-
Remember the famous Bill Parcells line: If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries
-
We kept asking for a list of the members, but never got one.
-
His offense sucked in '23. No way to sugar coat it.
-
He apparently didn't even have a good translator this year! Bad translator, longer season, no family... No wonder he slumped at the end of the year.
-
That was JH's assumption for sure. Many of us said that he should have been given a shot to clean up the mess.
-
He also mentioned that he wanted to give results that Red Sox fans could be proud of and that he realized that he relies on the support structure of his family for success (they were gone for a portion of the season).
-
Breslow, Levine and Romero seem to be the 3 best fits right now. Not sure how to order them.
-
BOH is EVP of Baseball Ops. Hard to say what that job really entails. Seems to be outside the scope of GM'ing at this point. They have 13 EVP's right now. A promotion would put Eddie above BOH on the org chart but maybe not his boss? Also, Paul Toboni interviewed for a position and that would also be a big jump in title. I wonder if the Sox are surprised that BOH stayed on?
-
Players love him. That seems important.
-
I think deep down you know this not to be true.
-
I'm sure they're already working on the PR that they were just doing due dilligence. Again, I'm pro Eddie and think he's a better fit than some of these others shlubs.
