According to your other post, that’s how Bloom got the job in the first place…
-
That’s the thing. Just because Bloom is gone doesn’t mean the purse strings are back open. Just because Keith Law said the Sox “need to act like [the Red Sox] again” doesn’t mean they will. I know the Sox repeatedly have said “money will not be a factor” but that stopped meaning anything during the Betts’ negotiations, which, regardless of what story you believe, fell apart when money became a factor. There may be a small to mid-market future here…

Deadline deal wiggle room? Why would we need THAT?!
-
Houck’s gotta guy…
-
Which one was beer-goggling?
-
Platoons are small market baseball. Either give Duran a real shot or trade him…
-
Exactly. This is a guy who gets it. More cake!! Less Ort!! That’s how you build a baseball team!
-
He’s trying to make it sound like no one wanted the job and like no one wanted Bloom but doesn’t know how to walk that line…
-
Just hire Romero. The man DFAd Kaleb Ort. He’s better than Captain Ahab now. “Get outta my way, Peg Boy! I see a whale that needs killin’.”

Don’t confuse Chapman with Isiah Kiner-Falefa…
-
No. Just one franchise. The Apple Watch scandal peaked in comparison to the system the Astros put in place. And if the 2017 Astros don’t have their sign-stealing operation, the numbers could easily shift to 3 to 3 once the Sox knocked of the Astros

Let’s get back to some basics and get some folks who can field…
-
A lefty-lefty platoon?
-
Just everyone they asked…
-
That’s not going to happen. Juan Soto has his own interests to take into account and they very likely do not sync up with the interests of the Padres or Red Sox. There’s a reason the 72 hour window to negotiate died off decades ago..
-
Why? No one else wanted the job, according to you and your sources. That’s not on Bloom or on whoever hired or recommended Bloom…
-
I doubt Boston would be in better shape if they didn’t for Dombrowski. The budget was fairly maxed out when he left…
-
You’re still trading for one year. Any extension you get is done on your own time. And there is a risk the player will not sign one…
-
Sale had 2 years and one very reasonable option left at the time of that trade. (Also BA had Moncada at #2)…
-
No trumpets? Have you been watching the postseason? Those things are everywhere!
-
But the Mets, who has fewer blown saves than all but 2 teams (one of which was Boston), had other problems Diaz was not going to solve. Namely they rarely took leads into the ninth inning…
-
Your standards are far too high. Bring a playoff contender is all that matters. Last week you (and most) would have put Atlanta and LA in the top 4-6 ring contender category, and probably left out Philly and Arizona. And certainly if you didn’t rank Philly last among the 6 NL postseason teams last year, then your system was flawed. But the reality is - there is no magic formula and no ranking that matters. There is a should have parity in baseball and just getting into the postseason is all that matters. (Although getting a bye is nice.)…
-
But he sure can pitch! (Rimshot) Also I’m a tad disappointed in you for missing that one…
-
At the end of the day, the OF might be Duran in LF, Abreu and Rafaela platooning in CF, and Verdugo in RF…
-
And 12 would have eliminated two Ranger teams…
