Ummmm.
You said not to judge anything until after 40 games.

We’ll have a better read by then."

I am baffled by how some can be enamored by Bloom and see this terribly constructed roster and blame Cora.

Better get use to it because they about finish 20 games back in East me thinks.They don't have the horses
It comes in stages. First we stopped hearing how great of a GM he is. Now we blame Cora. Next step will be finally throwing in the towel and admitting what is painfully obvious. Chaim Bloom is in over his head.

It makes no sense. The manager in baseball has limited influence. Or is anyone trying to convince me that Arron Boone is a great manager just because he manages the powerhouse NYY?
I actually think Cora made several key mistakes over the past several years, but he's a smart guy and capable to learn from his mistakes. He's respected around the league and by his players from what we know. And there really aren't any replacements on the horizon.
The issue is Bloom. The roster is terrible. He signed a big time FA in Trevor Story who wasn't really fitting the timeline of this team (and additionally will have wasted the most important 2-3 years of a high priced free agent on last or second to last place teams). And I am saying that despite coming off of the ALCS. He clearly changed the approach because he bought the 2021 campaign, which he shouldn't have. He, like most other GMs, fell in love with post-season heroics by his players. He could have moved Hernandez when his value was at an all time high after that post-season. And if you are now saying that no GM would have done that on a team having made the ALCS...then why did he weaken the team by trading Renfroe for basically prospects (he bought them by taking on JBJ) and basically picked the wrong OF to get rid of?
At no point did Bloom impress me with his moved and approach. He traded Benintendi when his value was the lowest of his career for a meh return (even at that time). He not only did NOT trade Barnes when his value was sky high, he extended (!) him when there were red flags with the sticky stuff which should be even more obvious to "baseball nerds" than old school GMs.
He doesn't value defense nor obviously any other fundamentally good baseball. And despite being at work for about 4 years and trying to rebuild the team, it's one of the oldest rosters in baseball. What the hell?
If any GM-discussion gets shifted to the owners and that poor signings and decisions are only made by them and Blooms hands are forced, then by that logic the GM also cannot make good moves, because none of that would be his call.

Cora has shown what he can do provided the proper groceries. hes stuck with a bad GM and owner who quit on Boston fans. not fair
I agree with everyone regarding Bloom. That said, for all the Cora naysayers out there, they aren't completely off base. He did not really "manage" much last year and I can see this year turning into the same but I am holding out hope until Memorial Day.
Also, for everyone that is saying it's not Cora's fault, I think that's being somewhat naive. Yes, he has to manage the hand he was dealt but if he's just going to sit back and watch it go to $hit, anyone can do that. At some point he needs to "lean into it" a bit.
