'The good times lasted about 11 hours. The fallout will likely be felt for years, and I honestly don't see how Chaim Bloom survives,' Tomase says.
They screwed it up because Bloom insisted on withholding a free agent-caliber offer until Bogaerts actually reached free agency, a disastrously short-sighted decision that allowed every organization in baseball to pitch one of the game's premier offensive shortstops while also souring him on the only city he ever wanted to call home. Let the record show that in April, the Red Sox considered a one-year, $30 million extension a fair offer, which is, was, and always will be insane.
One of those teams hunting for a shortstop is spending money like it just learned it has only three weeks to live. Unlike their big-market brethren with small-market aspirations, the Padres don't care about budgets. After watching Trea Turner spurn them for less money from the Phillies, they made Bogaerts an offer no one would refuse.
Bloom was just boarding a red-eye back to Boston when the news broke, and that must've been one lonely flight. The chief baseball officer hired for his ability to build a farm system keeps blowing holes in the big league roster, and we can probably write the epitaph on his Red Sox tenure already: He traded Mookie for nothing, lost Bogey for even less, and left the franchise worse than he found it. What a legacy.
