Second base is not a top priority for the Red Sox but Jedd Gyorko just joined Scooter Gennette, Starlin Castro, Howie Kendrick, Asdrubal Cabrera, Mike Moustakas, Ben Zobrist and Brian Dozier as potential low-cost targets.

In that 2011 trade the Red Sox also acquired reliever Josh Fields, whom the Houston Astros traded five years later straight up for Yordan Alvarez: https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-yordan-alvarez-dodgers-cuban-signings-mistakes-astros-20190706-story.html

But the Seattle Mariners have more payroll flexibility. Seriously, the Mariners will likely go with Mitch Haniger and slew of young outfielders ... and, less seriously, Domingo Santana could be available as a J.D. Martinez replacement.

Reducing the demand for Jackie Bradley Jr. at a projected salary of $11 million (thereby increasing the chances Bradley will be non-tendered).

Their perception of the Red Sox situation may have contributed to the long odds. Or not.

Chaim Bloom appears to be a solid hire but who's to say he wasn't behind Andrew Friedman, Theo Epstein, Mike Hazen, Derek Halvey and others on the list of preferred candidates? https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2019/10/boston-red-sox-gm-candidates-whos-left-with-andrew-friedman-other-top-experienced-candidates-unavailable.html

Yes ... can and will. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/08/6-pending-free-agent-hitters-who-could-receive-qualifying-offers.html

Did you apply? Just curious in light of your harsh reaction.

The Red Sox front office presumably has more information than we have on all candidates for the pitching coach slot.

Dave Bush had been the Red Sox minor league pitching coordinator for less than 10 months after serving about two years as a pitching development analyst.

A coach who pitched 1,144 innings over parts of nine MLB seasons isn't exclusively an analytics nerd.

A decade or so ago Dave Bush's sister was a teammate of mine on a Hood to Coast Relay team: https://hoodtocoastrelay.com/htc/relay-info/ I can't remember her name; we worked in different offices of the same firm.

For what it's worth, Seattle paid $140 million (including $20 million to the Mets) for five years of Robinson Cano, who posted 20.7 fWAR, valued at $163.7 million, with the Mariners. In the trade of Cano, the Mariners took on the $26 million remaining on Jay Bruce's contract and the $8.5 million remaining on the contract of Anthony Swarzak. Seattle also gave up Edwin Diaz who, according to one website, has a current surplus value of $13.4 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ In return, the Mariners received two current Top 100 prospects: Jarred Kelenic, now with a surplus value of $64.8 million, and Justin Dunn, now with a surplus value of $16.6 million.

According to this website, the Red Sox would need to add $71.3 million to even out that deal: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ Nathan Eovaldi and C.J. Chatham for Shin-Soo Choo and Rougned Odor would be even, according to that website.

Red Sox fans have stuck with the club even though the Sox failed to advance to the postseason as often as they advanced this decade. Two World Series titles helped.

The same website suggests that one year of Jackie Bradley has the same surplus value as three years of 31-year-old St. Louis DH-in-waiting Jose Martinez, who has a set 2020 salary of $2.125 million plus up to $1 million in incentives. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ If J.D. Martinez leaves ...😊
