    The way to help with fans patience: give them players to root for in the meantime like re-signing Mookie or Xander.

    Again, this offseason is Bloom's legacy. He got a pass for Mookie leaving. If the Sox are not good this year, it's because of his roster construction over the past few years. His inaction and curious small-market moves have not put the Sox in the position to win for the most part. 2021 was a good season. 2020 and 2022 were not.

    The window was closing! We didn't really know how true that was though.
  4. mvp 78
    Yup.

    The least likely thing to happen this offseason is that Raffy is extended. They have the money to do so, they don't have the willingness. The most likely option is that they go into the season with him as the 3B and still say they are committed to extending him during the year but we hear all throughout the year that Devers "hasn't heard anything."

    It sucks.
  7. mvp 78
    Are you comfortable with locking them up now? After next season?
  8. mvp 78
    I'm not sure fans really cared about the loss of Price or Kimbrel. I think losing Betts, Xander and Raffy are BIG concerns.
  9. mvp 78
    Looks like Rojas is a really good defender at all IF positions. Does seem like a guy Bloom would want.
  10. mvp 78
    Is this your belief, or just what you think the organization currently believes? If they don't offer Raffy 10/300, why?
  11. mvp 78
    To me, Story had moments that were reminiscent of Pedey at 2b. He was really good there.

    There are people that want to believe that it will all work out in the end and that the Sox will field a competitive team in April. I'm not going to definitively state that this team is going to be a train wreck, but I don't see this team making any sort of playoff run unless there is some significant changes that we haven't seen yet. FA wise, there isn't much left out there to obtain. Is Bloom intentionally dumping Ben/DD guys because he wants to put his stamp on the organization? I don't believe it. Is he trying to sign guys to a set "market rate" that he refuses to go over, which has caused him to be left in the dust by a changing FA market? YES.

    There's a big difference between losing 32 year old Pedro (who only had one great season left in him) and what happened with Xander and Mookie.
  14. mvp 78
    Without shifting, I don't think lumbering guys can be put at 2b anymore.
  15. mvp 78
    I think my concerns for the Sox at SS this season, with Story at SS it's not about the strength of his arm, but that his arm just might not hold up health wise. If he can stay healthy and maintain that position until Mayer is ready, then I guess I'm fine with it. I think I preferred him at 2b though because his defense really played up there.
  16. mvp 78
    Fine.
  17. mvp 78
    Ok, 2018 - 2013 = 5 years. It's now 5 years on from 2018. Is the team ready to win again?
  18. mvp 78
    75 more balls - 20 errors - 40 less outs = 15 more outs than other fielder BUT the errors lead to runners advancing. I'm not sure your scenario works in favor of the guy you are promoting.
  19. mvp 78
    The critique from the DD years was that he'd listen to no one. Now Bloom listens to too many people apparently. It's like they overcorrected again. Theo was the perfect blend of being able to sign FA's and grow the farm. Ever since then, they haven't struck that balance.
  20. mvp 78
    We can extend him, but have it not affect his year's tax.
  21. mvp 78
    Bloom would have loved Filene's Basement in Downtown Crossing.
  22. mvp 78
    @joonlee Some within the Red Sox front office have questioned Chaim Bloom’s decision-making process causes Boston to make decisions too slowly Apparently, he waits for too much feedback before making a decision.
  23. mvp 78
    Good thing I'm at work and not at home with a bottle of bourbon.
  24. mvp 78
    @joonlee On Rafael Devers, Chaim Bloom said the Red Sox are willing to go “beyond reason” to get a deal done but that there are “limitations” Sources say the Red Sox and Devers are “galaxies apart” Devers and his camp currently expect he will be a free agent
  25. mvp 78
    Right after he had a really good defensive season? Good plan if you don't want to be competitive.
