The Boston Red Sox have established that their primary goal for this offseason is to get themselves under the $208 million luxury tax threshold. This is way easier said than done, but they hired the right man for the job in Chaim Bloom.
Bloom was balling on a budget as an executive for the Tampa Bay Rays, as they won 96 games in 2019 and made it to the ALDS with the lowest payroll in all of baseball.
Bloom has plenty of options in terms of decreasing payroll for the Red Sox, but they all come with their drawbacks.
