The offseason is still young but, with the Yankees having traded for Juan Soto, it already feels like it’s getting late for the Red Sox. Is that fair? Is it even true? The short answer is no. The long answer is also no. But the longer answer is... maybe?
Occam’s Razor suggests that the Red Sox replaced Chaim Bloom because they wanted someone more active than Bloom, but, as Dan asks in this week’s episode of the Monsters of Sox, maybe not? As Bryan asks, maybe the handful of people who turned down the job didn’t want to follow John Henry’s strict cost-cutting measures, and the Bloom/Craig Breslow shift represented little more than a shuffling of the deck chairs?
