I hope I am wrong but three years of Bloom have shown settling for lesser players and dumpster diving. Maybe he is constricted but he has made a lot of bad decisions.
Bloom was brought in to trade Mookie and clear salary space. That has been accomplished at all costs. Thanks Chaim. Now it is time to bring in someone with an ounce of talent evaluation skill. Payroll out and garbage in doesn't equal championships.
It has been been a trying 8 months or so for Red Sox front office alum Mike Hazen. His wife received a rough cancer diagnosis and has been undergoing treatment. As someone who will be burying his father this Thursday as a result of cancer I sure will be keeping them in my thoughts.
