No, he just uses bad contracts as scapegoats.
I didn't ever want to sign Carl Crawford! I can't possibly afford all of these large contracts that have my signature on them! There is no mandate to cut payroll! I told Bloom to get under the cap!

#RedSox announce Colten Brewer will start tonight against the Yankees.
First career start in the majors. Before that it was in 2016 in High A.
Cherrington had a ring and 3 last place finishes. Dombrowski had a ring and a bunch of first place finishes.
We'll have to see what the next few years look like before we can really rag on Bloom.
Gentle reminder about the rest of the league:
Gary Sanchez .104
Gleyber Torres .161
Cody Bellinger .171
Christian Yelich .175
Max Muncy .176
Anthony Rendon .180
Jose Altuve .187
Strasburg got tossed for arguing balls and strikes from the stands. Also, ump is doing the hated "mask over mouth, but under nose" gimmick.

Extrapolated to a 162 game season, at this point in the year they'd be 16 games out. If the Sox and Yanks continue their pace, the Red Sox will lose the division by 54 games (prorated for a full season).
In a normal year, they'd be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention in August.
