They probably asked Theo and he noped.

They've said it's TWO open positions possibly: CBO and GM.

If I was hiring: CBO Brandon Gomes Kennedy: CBO Cora GM Romero Henry: CBO Mike Hazen

The CBO should have the authority to change all those faces if he wants. If he doesn't like the Eddie Romeros of the world, he needs to be able to find someone new. I'm not sure how it works in other orgs, but the Sox seem to have a lot of long term employees that have stuck around for decades. Is that a Henry edict? If they are the right people, fine. But if they are the right people, then they might not have to necessarily go outside the org to replace Bloom.

Also, are Eddie Romero and Alex Cora being considered as internal candidates for the CBO/GM positions?

They wanted to stay under the CBT. I think they'll end up like 5M under. What's an additional 5M going to do? The problem was going over last season. Chaim probably should have been fired for that blunder.

The ORGANIZATION has made many mistakes the past 5 years. Sale extension - DD Not extending Mookie - Ownership Going over the CBT in '22 and lack of willing to trade players that were on their way out - Bloom There is plenty of blame to go around. My only hope is that the new CBO and/or GM can be a steadying force and keep the farm trending in the right direction but also make appropriate moves regarding the MLB club rather than outright ignoring it.

Duran in LF.

Rafaela is a CFer. Duran is not.

Whoever they get needs to be a clear improvement on Bloom.

Wouldn’t matter. I’d give up Sale’s contract for a low A 25 year old.

He didn’t say.

He’s an asset that is gone after next season. They think trading him for a prospect or a pitcher will bring them more longterm value.

Bernardino realized his career was over after Bloom was fired.

The biggest problem wasn’t the win/loss but his inability to work with other GM’s and agents to get deals done.

TBD vs Schmidt 1-0 since firing Bloom.

They also had a trade at the deadline for Verdugo to HOU which is where all the drama came from.

Per Carrabis: Chaim had a deal to trade Sale’s contract for prospects, but he passed because he didn’t like the prospects. What the f***…..

Overrated as hell.

@ChrisFigz_ At what point do we need to worry about the Red Sox not being desirable for GM’s and potential CBO’s. Since Epstein it’s felt like FSG doesn’t provide them any job security, even if you seemingly do what was asked of you 4 years isn't enough job security??? WTF? People online are wild. @redsoxstats Incredibly pathetic, shameful s*** @SavageSports_ Set up to fail. Embarrassing from the ownership group. @LocksBerry We have no direction now @Benson_Elliot He was put in an impossible situation. No farm system, forced to trade Mookie, and a front office that refused to spend money @ColeyMick Can’t believe he didn’t stack rings under these circumstances. Unfathomable to this man @fpsFoley It’s insane that Chaim is getting blamed for the team’s results when ownership hogtied him and threw him in the pool and got mad when he couldn’t swim @cclowes3 He got fired for doing the exact job he was hired to do LOL. Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive or dress themselves. Truly psychotic posting. I rooted for Chaim to succeed because I wanted the Sox to succeed. It was clear that he couldn't build a rotation. Are people fans of the Red Sox or fans of the CBO? Wild...

And he's learning on DD right now. Mr Deals himself!

SoxFanForsyth just posts on Twitter. I don't know about most other people. They haven't popped up in my wanderings.

We'll all be lucky if they win and I remember to do Game 2.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he'll hit above .200 next season. You can put it on the boooooard!!!! YES!!!!
