The Boston Red Sox underwent a significant change this past September when Dave Dombrowski was fired as president of baseball operations. One month later the organization installed Chaim Bloom as their chief baseball officer.
He has been tasked with getting the Red Sox on target to be below the luxury tax threshold for the 2020 season. It’s fueled speculation Boston was open to trading the likes of Mookie Betts and David Price, among others.
The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly were among the teams to engage with the Red Sox in preliminary discussions for Betts. However, whether or not the 27-year-old is available has been disputed over recent weeks.
