The idea is that Bloom’s greatest regret and greatest achievement were both born out of the same confidence (stubbornness?) to do what he and his team felt was best, regardless of what the fans wanted, what the media highlighted, or what anybody else had to say. “I think we haven’t been afraid to do things that were controversial or might not make sense to people at first glance when we believed they were right.” (Of course, in addition to cash, it will also depend on whether Ohtani would actually want to be part of one of the most storied franchises in baseball history, and the best one in the 21st century.“I think ultimately you could put some of the results of this in both categories, but I’ll give you something that’s a double-edged sword, but might answer both halves of your question without singling out a specific instance in each case,” Bloom said. Having alienated a good portion of the ever-loyal Red Sox Nation, the Red Sox owners have a golden opportunity to bring relevance back to their ball club. Like, you can’t just sign one guy and he changes your whole franchise. That’s not Shohei Ohtani’s fault, but this isn’t the NBA. “Because I just look at the Angels and they haven’t had a winning record their last few years. But just objectively, taking the emotion out of it, I wouldn’t do this,” Gasper said. And if the Red Sox sign him, I wouldn’t be mad. “I hate to be the party pooper, and I love Shohei Ohtani as a player. Shohei Ohtani is someone you can hitch your wagon to as a fan, as an organization.” “When you have a generational talent like Ohtani and you are a Red Sox team that is desperate for interest - because even if this team exceeds expectations and pulls a 2021, we all know we’re just doing the same thing next offseason of shuttling out one one-year contract for another one-year contract.

“But the game has changed and right now, very few impact players even reach free agency. Rafael Devers is the latest example. “I’ve done sort of a 180 on this one because for years, I was of the mind, let other teams spend 3, 4, 500 million dollars on players because it’s bad business,” Tomase said.

He’s simply the best, as the old saying went. Ohtani’s performance as the World Baseball Classic’s MVP should have come as little surprise. Yet, if the team actually wants to be relevant again, they can do so after this upcoming season with one signing. They signed Rafael Devers to a huge extension and also signed the now well-known hero of the World Baseball Classic for Japan, Masataka Yoshida. Signing two players actually were big-market team moves. Hope springs eternal in Red Sox Nation though 2023 will determine if the team completely reverses its success under Dombrowski by finishing last again under Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom. The team’s attempt evidently at the behest of its owners to become the Tampa Bay Rays of the north has failed.
