He tried to look smart rather than just be smart.

The role Dombrowski played was not at all analogous to the role that Lucchino played. It was clear that when Dave came on board that Ben's role was GREATLY diminished. There's a reason we're complaining about Dave Dombrowski's moves and not Mike Hazen. BOH was GM for 4 years and we haven't had a complaint sesh about him! It's clear that something changed with the hiring of Dombrowski. -
Bloom did half the job. He helped rebuild the farm, partially, but didn't keep up the bargain on the MLB side. He really didn't develop much pitching wise and let the MLB team fall into disarray. While the farm became highly ranked later on, it wasn't enough to keep his job. It would be enough if he was the CBO of the Rockies or a lesser team.

Ben Cherington did spend. He won a 2013 WS with FA acquisitions. His problem was he spent poorly: Hanley, Pablo, Rusney so he had the keys taken away.

If it wasn't inevitable, why did you post about it for years and years?

I think the RHB's they had were very flawed.

Ah, but you see, Anderson Espinoza didn't turn into an All Star so the Drew Pomeranz trade was a good bit of business! 🙃
-
Contraction?
-
No chance are they ever reducing the amount of playoff games. MLB would have to go into a retraction period for that to happen.
-
IDK, his changeup REALLY concerns me. RV/100 of -2.1 offsets his 2.5 for the 4 seamer. Would he be able to survive if he scrapped it and became a two pitch pitcher?!?!? He's also the WRONG SIDE OF 30.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part I

Dodgers 2024 offseason: Signed Jason Heyward Signed Shohei Ohtani Traded for Tyler Glasnow Signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto Signed Teoscar Hernandez Signed James Paxton Signed Ryan Brasier Signed Clayton Kershaw Traded for Manuel Margot Yeah, I think the lesson JH should learn from the Dodgers this season is to have a quiet offseason. That's how they got to the playoffs for sure!!! -
The bigger sham was the belief that there was an inevitable cliff. It was merely self imposed.
-
We'll still be hearing this line when the 40 man roster isn't filled out on Thanksgiving.
-
I guess I piled on a little. 🫠
-
I don't think it's the reason. I think he tightened the spending because he was able to finally surround himself with yes men. He's always wanted to be able to field a team without spending. Just go back to his appearance in Moneyball.

Moncada 2019: 5.2 bWAR Moncada 2021: 4.0 bWAR Dubon career bWAR: 5.7 C'mon man!

Without balanced schedules, it's a horrible idea.
-
Did Bloom keep his job and I didn’t hear about it?
-
Pedroia’s was the largest 2b contract in history when it was signed.
-
Was it below market?
-
Look how they massacred my boy...
-
The closer in 2015 wasn't the reason they were in last place though! Uehara 2015: 40.1 IP, 2.23 ERA, 2.44 FIP, 0.917 WHIP

Whoopsie. Missed that one.

No, but the first thing I saw when I opened the site was "The Downside of a Lineup Full of JD Drews." https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/68690-the-downside-of-a-lineup-full-of-jd-drews/ That just brings up too many memories from old TalkSox that I feel called out... 😖
