Bloom should absolutely get another shot IMO.  The way I read it is that he was walking the tightrope of rebuilding the org that started to apply some type of financial responsibility during his tenure while appeasing the owner/fanbase.  The court of Wins and Losses passed the final judgment but Bloom did exactly what was expected when they fired Dombrowski...  Now Henry can put lipstick on the PR pig.

Henry did Dombrowski dirty then.  He's doing Bloom dirty now.  

Well that explains why no one really wants the job. Two GM's/whatever treated unfairly.

I would love nothing more than to see the Red Sox flail around all offseason trying to find someone to hire for their GM job, then hire someone totally inept and just see them wither at the bottom of the AL East for the next decade because they make poor choice after poor choice.

Glad to see Kim Ng decline an interview for them, that says a lot right there, IMO.

It’s heartwarming seeing the Red Sox with a dbag as an owner.

Never really thought of John Henry as a dbag.

They ended up picking former reliever Craig Breslow:

Breslow had been working in the Cubs front office since 2019.   Kinda interesting.

So is Breslow in effect the GM, or will there be someone below him with that responsibility?

Red Sox Paint New GM as an Out-of-the-Box Hire. He Isn’t. (msn.com)

A Yale Grad and a former mlb pitcher for 12 years. On the surface not too bad of a hire. Though some are criticizing it because he is analytically focused (dont see how thats bad given what Elias has accomplished).
