  1. Renfroe isn't exactly Lou Gehrig, especially this year.
  2. Connor Wong will be the backup next year (and he's supposedly good with the pitching staff). I would have been happy to promote him this year and DFA Plawecki. Having a Plawecki/Wong combo down the stretch wouldn't be competitive though, but that's not what they'd be going for.
  3. The MLB squad is worse off. Is the organization as a whole worse off? It depends on how much you value lottery tickets.
  4. Mookie was an ownership decision. It's right to blame Bloom for what Beni and Renfroe turned into. Last year, the grab bag worked out. It failed this year. If the team plays poorly next year, it is a near replication of Cherington's tenure.
  5. It wasn’t an emergency, it was the plan. It wasn’t due to injury or something unforeseen.
  6. The questionable move last year was having Cordero be the everyday LFer on Opening Day. Thankfully, Kiké moved into CF and fixed the OF by May.
  7. Trade all expiring contracts. DFA Diekman.
  8. I honestly don’t even recall the details of the negotiations with Bogey. Sox were wrong with Betts though. I’ve said that since he was dealt.
  9. You’ll get to enjoy him all of next year too!
  10. That’s a good price!
  11. That’s the org’s worry. In BP, they throw him balls intentionally that he has to lay off of.
  12. If someone pays him 30 over 8 years as others have suggested, good luck to them.
  13. They were very lucky with health, especially with starting pitching. I don’t think Sale really helped turn much at all around. I agree that the team had some serious flaws.
  14. It’s a negotiation. Ownership should still counter. He signed for more than $300, right?
  15. Chilling on the couch while the family is watching SYTYCD. We are just exhausted from paddle boarding in the hot sun today and needed to veg out.
  16. Seems like everyone is having a wonderful Saturday!
  17. He’s not getting 30M on the open market. 25AAV, 6 years maybe.
  18. What is a Bloom guy? He hasn’t brought in Tampa staff or players. It’s just been a mixed bag. So what really is a Bloom guy?
  19. If they tear it down and suck after, it’d be brutal. The cryptkeeper better have a real plan.
  20. Should have re-signed him.
  21. If Henry dumped Bloom in the offseason, but extended Xander and Raffy nobody would complain.
  22. A contract that large is a Henry decision, not a Bloom decision. I believe he was told the amount to negotiate then told to trade him. Complain about the return, but it’s Henry’s plan to cut cost. If it wasn’t Bloom, it’d be some other GM.
  23. The Story signing did suck and Bloom has created a mess of a team this year. It’s been weird trying to figure out his 1b/OF/RP plans the past few years.
  24. Can’t answer the question?
  25. Is Bloom interested in making those acquisitions?
