Lets look at what Bloom has done, he traded Benintendi and has had no real return, Betts he got average outfielder and two minor leaguers that may never make it to bigs, he let Bradley walk then traded Renfroe a good outfielder 30 Hr and gun for an arm, for Bradley and a couple minor leaguers, last winter he hired a group of older pitchers most past their prime or coming off an injury, now he has traded Vasquez and got two minor leaguers, then had to trade a relief pitcher to get a catcher, now the bull pen is short handed, if Bloom doesn’t sign Bogaerts I doubt he will sign Devers, I doubt Devers will stay without Xander there. So in summation he got rid of Benintendi, Betts, Vasquez, JBJ twice , Renfroe, and made no effort to sign Schwarber and possibly Bogaerts and Devers. My question is are any of the players he got better than the players he got rid of, it doesn’t look like it to me
