As a die hard Sox fan I know that trading Mookie cannot be blamed on Chaim, it’s so unfair to remember him for that. I will remember him for making good moves and bad ones. You just can’t get past being in last place 3/4 years. Sidenote: the way Chaim upgraded the Farm system was very impressive.

I would say 1-2 of the last 3 years. You can't count 2020. Plenty of teams had weird records that year. If we cut off this season after 60 games this year the Yankees and Pittsburgh would've made the playoffs and the Mets would've barely missed. Trust me, as an Orioles fan, had we played a full regular season, we would've finished 10 games back of Boston.

[@adidab14]

just remember that theo epstein took over the cubs and they were god awful for 3 years and he said himself he expected to be bad a 4th but they surprised everyone and finished 3rd in the central in 2015 before winning it the next year. rebuilds do be like that.

[@chrisshook9153]

​@@adidab14 Theo took over a trash team though. Bloom took over a Sox team that won the world series in 18 and were a closer away in 19 from making the playoffs again.

[@adidab14]

@@chrisshook9153 that's true. but the team he took over was 84-78 and then lost it's best player. Whether or not you think bloom was really responsible for trading mookie is another matter but regardless that's not really like a stellar team to take over. Even with that, his first year was the Covid season which is just a weird season in general to judge anyone by. Then the next season (bloom's 2nd) the team wins 92 games and loses in the ALCS. The following year (his 3rd) they finish with the exact record of the team he took over. and then the next year is this season. So it's not like it was a complete disaster at all. and it's such a short sample size by which to judge a gm or whatever the hell they call the position, especially when he took over a garbage farm system to work with and wasn't really allowed to spend money. The whole thing is just weird when you look at it.

[@SmoothCriminal12]

Tbh, I can't really be too mad at Bloom. The only thing you can really point at and blame him for is the Story contract. Ownership is using him to scapegoat the fact that they're too cheap to retain most of their star talent (Betts, Xander, Lester).

yeah i don't think they're in too bad of a spot at all. They have some stars on the roster. Some really good looking younger guys like casas and duran. and if guys like mayer and teel turn out to be good they'll be a force. Theo epstein's cubs sucked absolute BALLS for 3 years before they were any good, and he said himself they developed faster than he planned so he was expecting to suck for at least a 4th year before they surprised everyone in 2015. the hate bloom is getting for this is kinda weird tbh.

Chaim was ok. I think the Red Sox were headed in a good direction, even if it isn't immediate. They probably saw how Mookie was in the NL MVP race and decided to fire him out of spite...

[@BendyDH]

I think also that the pressure in big market cities like Boston, New York, and LA is so much bigger than a small market team like the Rays. I think Bloom was able to shine in Tampa because he’s extremely good at finding the diamond in the rough prospects and building them into stars, which is the slow and steady method, and as you can see by the Rays even still today it has worked out. Boston on the other hand expects to win every year and if they’re not in the playoff picture it’s a horrible year and somebody is pointing fingers. I think Bloom just isn’t right for a big market city, or if he stays in the big market would be better off as the Chief Prospect Officer (video reference don’t judge).

I personally think Chaim was always intended to be a fall guy. I could see this resulting in better Red Sox outcomes, simply because the front office is going to try and make splashes again and not go through austerity measures. Right now we only have 3 players signed long term. Sale’s contract ends soon. Our farm system is better, but it’s not good enough to fill every gap that we’ll have. So some smart spending will be needed

[@hatsoff77]

It’s inexcusable what he did (didn’t do) regarding the starting pitching staff!! He gave the team a 0% chance of winning. Then at the trade deadline he somehow made it worse. The fact that The Boston Red Sox used multiple “Openers” each week is criminal. Bloom was not the right fit for this organization.

I’m sick of people saying dombrowski gutted the farm system. Kopech and moncada are the only players even remotely worth a fuck he traded and even those two are average at best. The only reason we have our top prospect is because we were terrible enough to get a 4th overall pick. Dombrowski was fired because he actually had the balls to be aggressive and ownership didn’t want him spending their money so they can go buy more soccer teams.

[@warlordofbritannia]

The real problem is that he didn’t replenish the talent, not even a single bit.

[@justin-ux3pk]

@@warlordofbritannia Duran, houck, casas, bello, and Rafaela were all brought in by dombrowski. That’s almost the entire young core that people give bloom credit for. Our current top 3 pitching prospects were also brought in by dombrowski. Like I said already the only reason we have mayer is because bloom put out a team that was so terrible we got a 4th overall pick. Bloom was lucky that kyle teal fell to us because he easily should have been a top 10 pick. Our first rounder from last year has been awful. People talk about bloom like he built a top 5 farm system. Our farm system currently sits at 16. If bloom didn’t put out a terrible team to be able to draft Mayer and get lucky that teal fell to us we’d probably have a bottom 5 farm system so I don’t really see how you can argue that bloom did any better than dombrowski at replenishing the farm system.

[@warlordofbritannia]

@@justin-ux3pk You’re missing the point-DD didn’t replenish the farm, we had a system so fallow by 2019 that we couldn’t make any deals at the deadline. Look at where all those guys you mentioned were at that time-A ball or lower. We had the worst farm system in baseball. As for the current system-curious how you didn’t mention our riches of young hitters, which is why everyone except the MLB website has us in the Top 10. We’re almost identical to where we were in late 2015 but better; I’d even argue this is a more talented young core than Mookie, Bogey, JBJ and Benny. The idea that Mayer is the only prospect of note is so ridiculous you cannot possibly believe that. In fact I know you don’t because you just mentioned another, Rafaela.

@@warlordofbritannia bleacher report and mlb both have the Red Sox at 16. If you’d like to direct me to who has us top 10 I’d be more than happy to take a look. You can talk shit about the 2019 farm system all you want but it had a vast majority of their young core and it was built by dombrowski. Teal and Anthony are good hitters I’ll admit that but Mayer has struggled at double a and really didn’t do amazing in a ball considering how much hype he has. Bleis was doing bad in a ball before he got hurt. Yorke is decent in double a. Mikey Romero has sucked at every level and didn’t deserve to be promoted to double a. Zanetello who we drafted in the second round this year is our #8 prospect and he did terrible in rookie ball. 9 and 10 are pitchers signed by dombrowski. 11 is a shortstop signed by dombrowski. Tbh I don’t care where you want to rank the farm. My point is other than Mayer, who again is the result of an absolutely awful team assembled by bloom, teal, who we were lucky to have fall to us considering he easily should have been picked top 10 and had the opportunity to even draft him because we had a team bad enough to earn the 14th pick, and Anthony who I will admit was a good pick, bloom has not brought in any prospects worth getting very excited about. Meanwhile dombrowski brought in houck, casas, bello, Rafaela, and Duran who have all played pretty well at the mlb, as well as our top 3 pitching prospects. Like I said talk shit about the 2019 farm system all you want but all 8 of the guys I mentioned were apart of that 2019 farm system that dombrowski built.

Dombrowski is a specialist. Teams hire him to make a championship caliber team. Dombrowski doesn't view prospects as anything more than trade chips.

Yes he wasn't great but he did make two playoff teams. I don't blame him for Mookie. That was ownership telling him to trade him asap and other teams knew he had to make a deal so they didn't give a ton for mookie. Everything else got a C+ although the guy seemed like he knew what he was doing when it came to drafting players. I viewed him as a GM that was tasked with building the farm back up first and foremost which he did, and making his mlb team competitive without costing the farm, which he was 50/50 on. I wouldn't call it an all out failure. But boston fans have spoken. They want winning 24/7 and that's not how baseball works.Dombrowski made that impossible in the 2020s for the redsox. Yes we got a ring but at the cost of limiting our near future.

[@lucaslarios12]

As yankees fan and mariners fan I'm glad yall fired him

[@Planetech87]

Love the Kung fu panda music in the back ground just fyi

[@DSYankeesFan]

Yet Brian Cashman gets a 4 year extension 😡

[@kike21la9]

He’s a dodgers legend

[@NewEnglandDukes]

I still never understand why they got rid of dombrowski

[@ibrahimkhalif83]

I knew the Red Sox wasnt gonna repeat 2021 when they didn’t resign Kyle Schwarber. Right then I knew they were doomed.

Who woulda known the Jew would be cheap

[@austin5019]

And yet the ownership of the team, including John Henry, does not seem to want to spend crap on the team and be aggressive like they should be. Was not all Chaim's fault.

[@ohbaby4life]

Chaim back to the Rays!

[@michaeldipietro5010]

I understand your dismay in losing homegrown talent. I'm an Orioles fan. The cheap ownership has done nothing to secure guys like Rutschman, Henderson, Rodriguez, et al. Mike Elias is in his final year as the GM, which I do not believe he has been offered an extension. Plus, the lease for Orioles Park at Camden Yards has not been renewed.

[@tylerfrancescone8683]

They also all have 4 to 5 years of team control. If Rutchmen isn’t signed by the end of next season then u can panic, Henderson end of 2025, G-Rod end of 2025. U have time and cherish these moments with ur superstars, I didn’t I took Mookie for granted I thought he would be around forever but he isn’t.

[@michaeldipietro5010]

@@tylerfrancescone8683 I get what you're saying. Other Orioles fans are looking at some younger players on other MLB teams locking up their young stars through this season. They (myself included) would like to see at least one of them---Rutschman being the first---signed long-term soon. Ownership has balked at giving the players their due.

[@beatlejim64]

Been a fan since I was a kid in 1963. Pathetic....a bunch of "no name" players....lousy pitching staff...lousy trading...they should pay the fans to go to a game at Fenway...bunch of "stiffs".

[@jshall14]

Yoshida is an L for Chaim. As of today only 0.6 fWAR. He started great, but is slashing 246/275/385 in the second half. He is borderline unplayable in LF. The Red Sox are stuck with a DH who might never hit 20 HR, and whose BB% has cratered because he doesn’t drive the ball hard enough for pitchers to throw him balls.

Lol i guess we are skipping the 2018 cheating scandal **boston 2018 champions**

Can you make a video on David sterns?

That guy from the Brewers who just got hired by the Mets to be their President of operations is smarter than Bloom

[@dher1592]

We going to forget the red Sox cheated in 2018? Do you think that led to a bunch of nonsense after that season????

[@notoriouseagle1074]

That never happened

As a Nats fan, in Mike Rizzo we trust

[@fromulus]

I will say, the one thing that is certainly bloom's fault? Passing on Brusdar Graterol in favor of Jeter Downs. Damn, I would've loved to see that arm out of the bullpen in 2021.

[@Necrotog82]

Chaim Bloom is just Robbie Rotten in disguise, he's a Yankee fan.

[@aduncaroo]

His name is Chaim, what did anybody expect??

[@relentlessmadman]

I just fired baseball for being toooootwoooooto greedy!

[@martinalbert29]

He followed instructions. He followed budgets set and improved the farm system. The lack of success is owners call. They clearly want a cost efficient rebuild which will take time and as impatient as fans are the owners have earned time, 4 World Series since 2004 is the most in baseball. They just didn’t like the heat they were getting and made bloom the fall guy. All he did was follow the plan. SMH

[@gabrielvazquez1691]

This really isn't about Chaim, it's about the ownership.

[@jpthegr8860]

the Dembowski fallacy that he emptied the farm system while true is misleading. There was no path to playing time on the 2019 world series team as the vast majority of players who started for that team; were homegrown and zero of the prospects he dealt have panned out.

[@kyleochoa9004]

The Mookie Betts trade looks like one of the dumbest trades ever. I mean I think people have puffed Betts up lately trying to put him above Acuña, but there's no arguing that Betts is a top 3 Outfielder in baseball. And they trade him for Verdugo, Wong and WHO now? But on the other side of the coin, if you are the GM and the ownership says they are not going to give you the money to re-sign Betts then you really have no choice but to get whatever you can for him. And while its obviously lopsided deal short term, Verdugo and Wong are not bad players. I mean you can build a world series champion team with Wong as your backstop and Verdugo as one of your corner outfielders. You basically traded an 8 WAR player you can't keep for 5.5 WAR you can keep. Maybe more important is the fact that Verdugo and Wong are just now reaching their prime ball-playing age (both are 27) while Mookie is 30. So if you think your window is 2025-2029 or so maybe you are better off with Verdugo and Wong. Kind of like how the Dodgers got their other best player. The Braves know Olson is not Freeman, but he's still damned good, and he will be for longer because he's younger. There's also the argument that if you are not the Mets, Padres or Dodgers you don't have unlimited money. So maybe 2 guys who together probably won't ever cost half of what Betts does gives you more flexibility to build the rest of your team (I'm not even counting Jeter Downs in the equation because he's not even in the Red Sox system anymore, and also seriously WHO?).

[@chrisshook9153]

Acura is a great player. However Betts helped lead both the Sox and dodgers to world series championships in 18 and 20. The Braves won the World series with Acura injured.

[@pb4ugo2bed84]

He Got Too Into The Jewish Stuff The Past Couple Seasons, He Would Rather Be At Synagogue Than Fenway, Not Sure What He Was Trying To Accomplish? Baseball Is More IMportant And Demanding Than Religion. I Say Good Riddance, He Can Take That Crap Elsewhere

[@sdt01o1]

Bloom presided over losing two home-grown stars in Betts and Bogaerts, but Devers absolutely would have been star number three if not for the worry about an outright fan revolt. Sure, Bloom made a couple of good decisions, but trust me, we Red Sox fans are not sad about his ouster.
