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.
-
If this was the case, they would have rejected the interview outright like Gomes and others. The after the fact rejections leads to a different conclusion IMO.
-
No, it's not having the autonomy to being able to pick out the FO guys that they will work with on a day to day basis. The operation is already there. JH is already determined to keep everyone. I think any GM would be fine with having Cora for manager in 2024, it's the BOH/Grimma Wormtongue/Eddie/Raquel crew that has no movement and potentially is untouchable (with emphasis on the first two).
-
I'm throwing the 2023 baby out with the bathwater. I think the 2024 baby should be better.
-
The CBT increased by 2M in 2020. To get under the CBT would be 5-6% from the previous budget.
-
I think these candidates are turning down the job because they won't be given the space to make organizational changes to make the job their own. More and more, it just feels like this will come down to an internal candidate like Eddie Romero Jr. I'd rather him than some of the names thrown around anyway.

We got a doubting Thomas over here!
-
Kim Ng has a family. She ain't coming here.

2020, 2021, 2022, 2023...
