While that maybe true it doesn't change the fact that Bloom is confusing his bosses and appears not able to articulate a path forward.

So much for the Chris Sale come back. Ouch!

This guy is likely to break something every time he sneezes -
I think Bloom is in deeper trouble with ownership then many care to admit. Both Merloni and Spiers reported that Blooms moves at the deadline left ownership confused. It is never a good thing to leave ones boss confused. Apparently, one of the main points of confusion is why will the club exceed the lux tax by a small amount yet not be a contender. The feeling is if one is going to suffer the consequences of exceeding the tax then the team should contend. If they are not going to contend then why exceed the lux tax. According to Merloni for one, ownership thinks this is evidence of Blooms poor planning.. This may explain why Bloom is straining to explain that he really does have plan even though it may not be apparent to anyone including his bosses.

BobbY Dalbec! Hell they are trying him at 2nd base. Given Bloom's track record a move to Centerfield can not be far off.
-
That may be true but who is keeping there.
-
Danger, Will Robinson(Chaim Bloom) Danger! 😆
-
I agree Bloom is out of the Twilight Zone.
-
Even Spier echoes Merloni and writes that Bloom's action are causing confusion in the front office. This moving everyone strikes me as panic. Bloom says he has a plan but it looks like operation chaos . When I was in the Army we had a technical term for what Bloom is doing "FUBAR"

God did not make free agents in baseball but Lou Brock and Marvin Miller did.
-
I see the Red Sox are having Dalbec work on playing 2nd base. The Sox are moving every one around so much they might try Duran at catcher. 😀
-
If Bogeys agrees to stay in Boston I suspect there will be a lot of non economic issues on the table.
-
They are Blooms case.
-
I don't think this is lost on anyone especially in the executive suite of Fenway Sports Group.
-
Lou Merloni said today that Bloom is in hot water with ownership. It appears that ownership is unhappy that the Red Sox will not make the playoffs and still have to pay the lux tax. Their feeling is if we have to pay the lux tax then we should be in the playoffs.

To listen to the kid talk he only makes things worse.
-
How about dummy to the ventriloquist
-
Plus he has added a slew of colorful terms to the baseball lexicon.
-
I guess then Henry is stuck with the monkey.
-
Not being the main focus of one's non committed financial resources is not the same as ignoring. I may choose to go looking to buy a new BMW. That doesn't mean I ignore my home and decide not to pay my property taxes.
-
Then Henry should have hired Friedman. Never talk to the monkey when organ grinder is in the room.
-
It doesn't take his attention to spend money that he had already committed . Freeing him and his financial resources to buy an NHL team for 900m then allow LeBron James to buy into FSG so they in turn can try to obtain an NBA franchise all of which takes a lot dollars.
-
That was already committed.
-
Follow the money
-
Bloom is not Andrew Friedman.
-
They may find other teams offering the same money more palatable.
