Time to turn this embarrassment of a franchise around. That happened in 2004 This is a speedbump but glad they recognized it Funny thing is almost all the young talent the sox are currently putting on the field cane from donbriwsky era Bloom was a bad hire for this market from the get go Jays will have some openings soon hope he lands there I think it's a shitty move by ownership. He was brought in to a terrible situation, very little on the farm, aging roster with a lot of bad contracts. He rebuilt the farm to the point that they have the potential for a homegrown core. Now they will bring somebody in who will reap the benefits of his work. Some of the kids were drafted with Dombrowski as GM but under Bloom they developed them and kept them instead of trading them for quick fixes. Sd, NYM and NYY are perfect examples that trying to spend your way to a championship won't work.

2004, 2008, 2013, 2018 are perfect examples of using your big market advantage and wordlwide fanbase do work in bringing championships
the fact Bloom got nobody of value for Bettes sat on his ass at trade deadlines vetoed a deal to rid us of injury prone and huge contract Sale.... that's enough for me
and should be for any Sox fan with their head outside their ass
it's a good day

Sox have won one WS in how long?
I expect then to stay in that routine....
Cheap, overpaid vets, and just bad players will not win them any Championships anytime soon.
Maybe another 20 years?

No matter how big your market is, if you don't have a lot of homegrown talent, you don't win. look at Houston Atlanta LAD and now TB Baltimore and Seattle (smaller markets but lots of good young guys) are now coming. Bloom got two MLB starters for 1 year of Betts, it was that or one comp draft pick that might still be in the minors. I would have liked to see them sell at the TDL last year, but ownership likely wouldn't have signed off. This year they had a 10-15% chance of the playoffs, ownership wouldn't sign off on a fire sale and it would be dumb to trade a top 5 prospect for a 40 year old pitcher like Verlander or scherzer. Their goal is to compete year in and year out, but first you have to build the farm system and bring in a crop of young guys, then sign and surround them like Atlanta is doing. Baltimore will likely do that this coming off season.

That's very welcome news, especially how the team has been run the last few years with discount players and no desire to go for any of the bigger name players available. Hopefully this will be the start of some better years for the Sox.
