In the days leading up to the MLB trade deadline, Rafael Devers and other veterans in the Red Sox clubhouse were vocal about what they thought Chaim Bloom and Boston’s front office needed to add to the roster.
Those musings about the Red Sox’ hopes of becoming a buyer on Aug. 1 were not just doled out to the media, but to Bloom himself.
Appearing on WEEI’s “Gresh & Fauria” on Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged that Bloom directly had talks with a number of players as they voiced their opinions about what course Bloom should chart at the deadline.
