Not particularly a Sox fan -- in fact I was downright surly when they dominated the three sport media in this town -- but I wish the new GM well. He's set up to do well in the wake of Bloom, and I foresee an upswing.

I agree on both
He lives in Newton and played for Red Sox I think he knows where to park
Plus he’s really smart

He's got a lot of work to do to make up for Bloom ignoring the pitching pipeline. Shipping out the last man's mistake for depth is a good start.
Apparently Steve Cohen flew to japan personally and took Yamamoto out to a pricey French restaurant, and met his whole family, to try and sell him on the Mets.
But sources are also saying John Henry had his secretary write up a very nice email to try to convince him on the Sox, so don't count us out yet.

I'll wait till the Japanese stars sign but it certainly looks this way. And if they don't come away with any top tier guys they will be penciled in for another last place finish.

The Red Sox will only go as far as ownership allows them, annd ownership doesn’t seem to have any interest anymore. Hope they prove me wrong but it won’t matter who’s in charge if these clowns don’t spend.

I consider that a W for Breslow

So Breslow is dumpster diving while the Yankees add Soto... awesome

Breslow being really smart does not mean he will be good at this job.
Hope I am wrong but so far if they are going to be this way why fire Bloom if it will be the same.

For some reason I expected them to be aggressive this off season.
Maybe i'm just being a doomer but they'll go out dumpster diving and sign two starters like Sean Manaea and Alex Wood while trading for some bottom of the lineup glove and wonder why no one cares about the team again. They need to make a big splash and get people excited or the ballpark will be empty before April ends. It will be worse this year though if the Yankees get Soto and Yamamoto while the Blue Jays get Ohtani. Sox will be the divisions bitch for a few year if that happens while the people who let it happen only care about getting the vegas nba expansion team.

Only two needle moving players and they are going after Yamamoto
After that nothing earth shattering
I would like them to go after Tatis so he can play SS and move Story to second
the biggest mistake is going the Hanley & Pablo route
Better to not be stupid and take the media beatdown
To me it’s Yamamoto or bust - after that don’t sign David Backes type
They must really believe they got a shot at Yamamoto
Montgomery is solid Red Sox type but sounds like not interested

All the teams in the AL east seem like they want to win. Henry has checked out and last place certainly doesn't bother him so I don't understand why doesn't want to sell before he tanks the franchise value lower and lower. They fired Bloom to save face only to repeat the same cycle

Rogers owns them and realizes that they make $30 million annually in advertising without Ohtani playing a game.

In the last 24+ hours, the Yankees have traded three pitchers to the Red Sox, four to the Padres, and lost three to the Rule 5 draft. Understand most of them were minor leaguers, but still... that's a lot.
