Bloom obviously had a much different mission than DD did. There was no way Bloom was trading a bunch of top prospects. It's not what he was hired to do, and I'm sure it's not what he wanted to do.

Other thread for Bauer please! Here's the link. https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/20358-Trevor-Bauer-is-Suspended-for-2-Years?p=1569415#post1569415

I think it was Bloom's. Whatever we think of Bloom, I do think he had some integrity.
-
I'm not calling anyone whiners or apologists. Bloom was handed a difficult assignment, no question. But he made some big mistakes and apparently was very indecisive. If he had done better he'd probably still have the job.
-
Well, he's just going to have to deal with it. Dombrowski didn't replace Farrell until Year 3. Bloom re-hired Cora. It's not unprecedented to be working with the same manager as the previous guy.
-
Let's take this to the other thread please.
-
Frankly I thought when 8 teams got in it was fine. And they could have bumped that to all 7 game series. The new system with 12 teams getting in obviously magnifies the crapshootery.
-
No CBO is ever fully in charge of their situation. None of them have a "no-fire" clause in their contracts.
-
It doesn't much matter who gets blamed. It matters who's still employed and who gets fired. Bloom got fired. His opinion no longer matters.
-
It does, but an 8 figure contract will have its appeal for some candidates.
-
I think Henry wants to win but without the payroll nightmares. He thought Bloom could pull that off.
-
Well, I'm sure they're interviewing or trying to interview. But the situation is what it is. Like I say, the real decision-makers here are the owners.
-
We don't need a damn genius for the job. What we really need is some clear freakin' direction from Henry and Werner. Are we gonna spend this offseason or not? Are we gonna go balls to the wall to sign Yamamoto or Nola or Snell plus another good starter or not? Without the answers to those questions, it doesn't matter who's wearing the CBO hat.
-
All of which boosts Eddie Romero's chances quite a bit.
-
Can't put the toothpaste back in the horse now. It's a done deal.
-
One can posit anything here, that's for sure. But the new improved Henry we're imagining wasn't the type to fire DD after 4 mostly successful seasons.
-
Sam Kennedy should henceforth be known as Sam the Sham.
-
Brasier's renaissance this year after going to the Dodgers was displeasing. That can't have helped Dave Bush's chances of staying.
-
In the hypothetical scenario of DD staying, he would be allowed to spend more than Bloom was, of course. In this hypothetical scenario, it's Henry's thinking and decision-making that's different. Everything else flows from that.
-
Yes, we're all pretty good at cherry-picking when we want to be. harmony's selection of a 14 year period made his a bit conspicuous.
-
Do Devers, Story and Yoshida count?
-
The Red Sox still have the most titles this century, and will continue to hold that honor after this year's World Series!
-
Quite the arbitrary distinction as to what constitutes the "distant" past. But maybe you are joking. It's hard to tell.
-
The Red Sox did get disciplined for improper use of the video room in 2018. Much less sophisticated than the Astros' system, and I believe it was confirmed that it only happened in the regular season, unlike with the Astros.
-
We're innovators here, man.
