@redsoxstats After the trade deadline passed last year, this series of events instantly started happening: Tanner Houck on the 15-day IL Chris Sale breaks wrist in bike accident Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day IL James Paxton tears lat in rehab start Kutter Crawford on the 15-day IL Maybe the pendulum will swing the other direction this year. Still may not be enough to get into the postseason. Bloom doesn't think so anyway.

https://www.milb.com/player/noah-song-679977 He has pitched in games this year. Maybe some team still believes in his upside especially a crappier team like the A's that can keep him on their roster for 90 days and then can option to him to the minors next May and retain his control for a few years.

1918 chant is now 2018... Sad!
-
Ok.
-
Bloom is responsible for "all" by being responsible for his direct reports. Thank you for agreeing with me. His main job is not the wins and losses of the MLB club.
-
Yeah, his job is to make sure that BOH, Crockett, Romero, Toboni and others are doing their jobs. Bloom (or any one person) is physically incapable of doing all the things that people like to put on him. If you don't like how the Red Sox Org Chart is set up, you should talk to them.
-
If the CBO is making all the decisions, why does he have a GM? What is the function of the GM?
-
His main job is not the record of the big league club. That's not on his resume.
-
I'm not doing PR for Bloom. I don't care about Bloom. I've always said that he could be fired today and it wouldn't impact me at all. I grade him like a C/C+ overall and it's pulled down because of the MLB team. If you disagree with my assessment of how the organization is run it's fine. You'd be wrong, but it's fine.
-
Here you go!
-
If they finish above .500, does the last place finish matter? They could win 85 games and be in last place with how the schedule is now.
-
No!
-
The Red Sox do have a GM. You should complain about him.
-
We talk about non-tenders every offseason but nobody ever gets nontendered.
-
He also doesn't really have a way with words.
-
Ahhh, his stuff definitely looks like he hadn't throw a ball in 3 years. It's been rough. He's probably not a starter going forward unfortunately.
-
I would imagine that a garbage team like the Nats or A's would have room for him the last two months of the year. They only have to keep him on the active roster for 90 days now. Easy peasy for them.
-
I don't think they were going to get into the playoffs. The teams around them sold a bunch of prospects for a run this year. I think Bloom telegraphed that he wasn't ready to do that right now. This team isn't there yet. This team is still a few years away from being mature enough to make those moves.
-
No, it would be a good idea to trade Rafaela for a 38 year old with a 4 ERA that is owed 43M next year. It's smart! There's no way you could spend that 43M in a better manner!
-
The Red Sox weren't a playoff team every year when I was growing up. Some of you have really inflated expectations.
-
Henry should use the money saved from cheaper players on extensions and FA's elsewhere on the roster. He's not going to spend it on other ventures. He's not a sole proprietorship.
-
They traded a guy that could have been taken in Rule 5 next year (and someone nobody on here really talks about) for a guy who put up 2 fWAR seasons the previous 2 years. It's a fine trade.
-
Chief Baseball Officer His main task is running the whole organization by managing the GM and other people in upper level management, not running the MLB team.
-
I like the trade they did make. However, it shows that they weren't ready for a playoff push this year. If that's truly the case, they need to be a little honest with the fanbase rather than string them along with the "it's gonna be awesome" stuff.
-
Where Bloom is going is the direction Henry wants.
