I’m sure for the next month while the playoffs roll on and the rest of baseball waits to move forward with the offseason, there will be a lot of articles and posts about the story of the 2020 Red Sox. And they sure were a lot of things. Exciting at first, disappointing most of the rest of way, and utterly frustrating to watch.
For me, though, the 2020 Red Sox largely represented the period of change that we’re going to have to adjust to in the Chaim Bloom era. This season was always going to be one of transition, and this season was probably the hardest season we were going to have to experience, especially following the trade of an elite superstar on a Hall of Fame trajectory.
