I think Bloom is at that damm third option in that fork in the road again when it comes to Raffy. Sign him, and pay maybe $100M more than last off season, which I’m sure JH doesn’t want to do. Trade him, and feel the raft of Red Sox fans for losing Bogey, and Raffy in the same offseason, or just let Raffy play out his last year in Boston, which I think will happen. Once again Bloom has had 3 years to work on this, and has chosen not to.
