Episode 416: Chaim Bloom

Today we are once again joined by the Chief Baseball Officer of the Red Sox, Chaim Bloom. With Chaim we talk a full breakdown of his approach at the trade deadline, understanding why fans wanted him to make more moves, how close they actually were to some big deals, the impact the Sox being in first at the time might have had on their "lack" of moves, shooting down the rumor that ownership was pushing him towards trading for Max Scherzer, where they see Kyle Schwarber fitting in best when he comes off the IL, the reaction from the front office when they landed Marcelo Mayer in the draft, auctioning off his draft day apparel and much more. Throughout the rest of the show we talk the current tough times with the Sox, assess how bad a stretch this actually is for this team, project what the rotation is about to look like with Chris Sale and Tanner Houck back, show love to Triston Casas' Olympics performance, look ahead to this 4-game series in Toronto and much more. Enjoy!
