The most egregious lie Chaim Bloom’s supporters tell is that he was hired by John Henry to do “a job” that was somehow less than Chief of Baseball Operations for the Boston Red Sox, in that Bloom was supposed to prioritize rebuilding the farm system, and whatever else happened, well, just happened. As long as the minor league system continued to be strengthened, the argument goes, Bloom could not fail, but could only be failed, be it by fans, players or ownership who didn’t grasp the genius of his grand design, were impatient about seeing it through or used one-off failures to diminish the entire project.
