Within the past two hours. Is that JUST enough for you?
-
"Oh hey, you can't be #1 in payroll going forward, but you can spend up to the CBT so work with 5% less." "Guess we'll have to be a 78 win team now... "
-
Red Sox are going to lose out due to family considerations.
-
UPDATE: @tylermilliken_ According to @alexspeier, James Click talked with the Red Sox but decided to withdraw his name from the search due to family considerations.

Bing generated AI image of Tek mashing Bloom with the glove instead of ARod.JPEG

How about a Greinke, Longoria, Ryu, Brantley and Carrasco offseason to scratch the Antiques Roadshow itch?
-
They must have done it because of a mandate from ownership not to spend!!!
-
He was rubbing the blood off his hands!
-
They were 10M under on Opening Day per Cots. It gave them enough room for a few deadline deals.
-
He basically sat in his car in the garage the whole day listening to podcasts wondering if he should walk into work or not.
-
Don't sign guys with pre-existing injuries!
-
$12 over. He needed to reduce the budget by 6% from 2019 to 2020. If he could have traded Price and paid 50% of his contract for a nothing prospect, he could have been under in 2020.

Would the Bloom Brigade please stand up and protect your boy?!?!? No takers?
-
But if Cora complains about it then he's a backstabber? Is that the story?
-
Yeah, I'm going to disagree with this bolded part...
-
At this point, Cora has managed through 3 seasons AFTER his suspension. Houston faced barely any consequences. MLB tried its darndest to make it a nothing burger. I think a reunion with Lunlow would be a story, but not so much with Click.
-
There's no way Huntington would be able to do that kind of turnover in Boston. Maybe it was requested? Maybe he feels it wouldn't be needed? The Pirates are an awfully different franchise than the Red Sox. His GM experience would be substantially different here. He was fleeced in a few trades, but did turn the Bucs into a winner for a brief moment. I don't think Henry would cheapen out on his staff the way HOU does. I think Bloom was given a lot of leeway in a way that any HOU GM would never be given. Click should have been more professional and kept his mouth shut, but I believe he was severely chafed at where he was professionally at the time. Both candidates are flawed for sure. Click may be a more exciting choice, but I don't know if either does it for me. The Sox really needed a guy like Gomes. Of all the non-internal candidates interviewed so far, the only really interesting one is Breslow IMO. He's a big unknown though.
-
The end of 2011 broke Henry's brain. That collapse made him push a big red button that he should have waited on. They had no pitching that September. If they ran that team back in 2012 with Theo and Tito, they would have been much much better and may have not had to do the Dodgers trade.
-
He got fired for feuding with ownership and the manager. He wanted Vaz to get more playing time down the stretch (the guy who caught a no hitter and who was just traded for) but the manager didn't feel like it. He got to the league wide GM meetings and vented his grievances publicly over winning a WS, but only being offered a one year extension and being massively underpaid. Crane then fired him.
-
Is he as ineffective and indecisive at trades and FA as Bloom? If so, then that's a hard pass. Click did trade for Vaz in HOU at the deadline, right?
-
Within two weeks of assuming the Pirates GM position, Huntington made several decisive moves on October 5, 2007: field manager Jim Tracy was fired; the remaining coaching staff was given notice that their contracts would likely not be renewed; and the senior director of player development, the scouting director, and the director of baseball operations were also let go.
-
Massive budget cuts are a myth. He was just asked to get under the CBT like most other GM's have to do. It shouldn't have been that tall of a task.
-
Bell would knock you out like Tyson did to Spinks.
-
Per Speier, Craig Breslow, Thad Levine, and Neal Huntington have all interviewed with the Red Sox for their FO openings. Raquel Ferreira withdrew her name due to family concerns.
-
What boos? He rarely interacts with fans anymore.
