Bloom to be Boston team president
The Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB) have fired President of Baseball Operations Hale Bloom, 카지노사이트 citing poor performance.
According to MLB.com and ESPN on Friday, the Red Sox have decided to let go of Bloom, who took over in 2019.
The Red Sox finished last in the American League (AL) East in 2020 and 2022 with Bloom at the helm.
In 2021, the Red Sox made a dramatic run to the AL wild-card game and the Championship Series, 온라인카지노 only to be swept by the Houston Astros to punch their ticket to the World Series.
Unlike his predecessor Dave Dombrowski's big-money, star-studded signings, Bloom has pursued a "small market" strategy that focuses on developing prospects.
In fact, Boston's minor league system, which was one of the worst in the league prior to Bloom's arrival, has improved significantly, with prospects such as Triton Casas and Bryan Bello.
The Red Sox also traded key slugger Mookie Betts, the reigning American League Most Valuable Player (MVP), to the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the 2020 season.
Boston received prospects from the Dodgers, including outfielder Alex Verdugo and catcher Connor Wong, and developed them into starters over the next three years.
Last offseason, the Red Sox let key players designated hitter J.D. Martinez, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, and pitcher Nathan Ivaldi leave in free agency, adding outfielder Masataka Yoshida, closer Kenley Yansun, and bullpen arm Chris Martin in return.
The Red Sox recognized that "Mr. Bloom has laid the foundation for the future," but explained that "fans want a strong team that consistently makes the postseason."
So far this season, the Red Sox are tied for fourth place in the AL East with the New York Yankees (73 wins, 72 losses). 카지노사이트존
