we need to move on from Bogarts as sad as it is that he is gone. We need to focus on the current roster that Chaim Bloom has constructed [ or destructed as it may be} Somehow our payroll is only slightly lower yet we are poised to finish last in the AL East for the 3rd year in Bloom's 4 year tenure in Boston. People keep talking about the vastly improved farm system Bloom has built but save for Mayer what true blue chip prospects has Bloom brought to Boston? And more importantly what blue chip pitching prospects has he added? Bloom came from an organization known for it's ability to draft and develop top young pitching talent.
We let several top players walk for nothing { Eovaldi, JDM, Bogaerts} when we SHOULD have gotten something back for all of them given we were out of the race at last yr's deadline.
