With the hiring of Chaim Bloom and the trade of Mookie Betts, the Boston Red Sox seem to have made a pivot from “rich big-market, big-spending juggernaut” to “rich big-market team that wants to operate like a small-market team.” The front office has been focused on slashing payroll and has seemingly punted on the 2020 season (if the lack of upgrades in critical areas of need on the roster is anything to go by). What this offseason has done, though, is shone the spotlight on the depleted farm system more so than it has been in recent years.
