Chaim Bloom re-lives Red Sox, Mookie Betts trade after his kids grilled him

The Chaim Bloom era of the Boston Red Sox was not a fruitful one, as the Red Sox only made the playoffs once between 2019-23, failing to recapture the magic of that 2018 campaign.

Under Bloom's watch, the team focused on tightening the purse strings, and they let face of the franchise Xander Bogaerts leave in free agency once he received a huge offer from the San Diego Padres.

That was probably a smart move in hindsight, although it certainly wasn't a popular one. And while Bloom's fingerprints are all over the current roster, the team went just 267-262 under his watch.
