The Boston Red Sox are in for an offseason of change.
By firing former chief of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, the Red Sox have signaled that they are heading in a brand new direction. They say that they want to get back to winning, and they’ve already made some changes to the coaching staff to help accomplish that goal.
