There are reasons we were able to sign him for a bit below market in the first place.
-
Let's not forget his 2022 numbers with the bat were nothing special either.
-
I know...what a perfect alibi.
-
The Phillies 1-2-3 of Schwarbs, Turner and Harper is something else right now.
-
I have my doubts that Story's .566 OPS and 55/9 K/BB is screaming "steal" to most teams...
-
nick really does bring the venom.
-
Damn Cora, not getting Bloom fired after 2022!
-
The amount of Story's contract is fine, but everything else about the signing is questionable.
-
I think it's a JH conversation, personally.
-
The thing is, JH's cycling or whatever it is is starting to look more like dysfunction, what with all the last place finishes and fired CBOs...
-
That's a fair observation, aside from the Devers omission, but it also shows Bloom did in fact have room to maneuver through the supposed scorched earth left by DD...and look at some of the DD prospects that hit in 2023.
-
The DD ship has left Boston Harbor forever.
-
Sure, you can just start a poll - If Click is Bloom 2.0, are you in?
-
Now there's a good honest question. Click has a championship on his resume, at least.
-
No one seems to know if those 72 hour window deals are even allowed any more. If they are, it would have to be some chunk of change for Soto to forego free agency.
-
There are a few posts about the games.
-
Soto is a major weapon but it's hard to see trading top prospects for one year of him.
-
Honestly, it's not clear exactly why either DD or Bloom were fired, because as has been said a zillion times, they both seemed to be doing exactly what they were hired to do. Yes Bloom's W-L record the last 2 years had to do with it, but if Henry was so keen on winning why didn't he spend a bit more? The only thing we know is that the same guy fired them both, the same guy who has canned 3 CBO's in a row after 4 years, the same guy who's mostly responsible for all these stories about people being leery of the Sox CBO job.
-
But I didn't say good shape. You're the one who used the dramatic term "devastation", somehow ignoring the 2021 ALCS appearance and the fact you wanted the team to buy at the 2022 and 2023 deadlines because they were still in it. Yeah, that's some real devastation there.
-
Plus it was 1 bad season out of 4. If you think that's a bad ratio, you probably shouldn't be a baseball fan.
-
I don't buy it. The selloff in Miami was ordered by the owner and they won another World Series in 2003. The guys that replaced Dombrowski in Detroit and Boston just weren't very good. Plus the Red Sox almost made the World Series in 2021 in spite of the so-called devastation. Bloom did do a good job that one year, and certainly gets a lot of the credit, but it absolutely refutes the "devastation" idea. Plus you've argued that the Sox could have made runs in 2022 and 2023 if Bloom made moves at the deadlines. So you're contradicting yourself with the devastation thing.
-
Unless they get a new owner, nobody could.
-
He's taken 4 teams to the World Series - that's fairly impressive. Bloom isn't even in the conversation, really.
-
Obviously DD's termination and the payroll cutting went hand in hand.
-
Yeah, well, it's also true that the Phillies have made the postseason TWICE AS MANY TIMES as the Sox. 100% MORE! And TWICE SINCE THE LAST TIME THE SOX DID! It's how you present your ******** that matters.
