The Red Sox have limped to a 3-9 record since Major League Baseball’s trade deadline passed on July 30. In that span, Boston went from leading the American League East to falling four games behind the Rays.
Boston’s front office, led by Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, has been criticized for not being aggressive enough in acquiring further help for the team.
In a Thursday morning interview on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Bloom responded to the critique.
“It doesn’t make sense for us to be aggressive if we’re doing something that’s not a good baseball trade, that doesn’t help this team, that’s going to lead to more losing than winning,” said Bloom.
