Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom might not have been predicting his team would finish well away from the playoffs as some experts projected before the season.
But his preseason expectations for the 2021 Red Sox weren’t exactly World Series-or-bust, which he reminded everyone in his postseason address Monday.
“In February, when I was asked what my hopes, what my goals were for this season…we wanted to come out of it feeling like this could be the start of [a next core],” he told reporters. “I think we’re there.”
Following an unexpected playoff run, perhaps Bloom has a point.
