Chaim Bloom is the worst GM in baseball. Maybe ever.

- Traded Mookie Betts for Alex Verdugo and prospects

- Traded Andrew Bennintendi for Franchy Cordero and prospects

- Traded Hunter Renfroe for Jackie Bradley Jr. Released mid season.

- Didn’t re-sign Kyle Schwarber (Led NL with 46 HRs)

- Didn’t trade or re-sign Xander Bogaerts. Got nothing in return.

- Signed Trevor Story to a 6 yr $140 million dollar deal(.238, 16 HR in 94 games)

How this guy remains a major league GM is beyond me. He is objectively a failure.

This feels like his last year at the helm. The deal for the Japanese OFer is absolutely baffling

I will say some of this (Betts, Bogaerts specifically) feels ownership driven also

Al Avila is pretty close. Look at what he got back for Verlander, JD Martinez, etc.

This is an anti-semitic attack

Feels like some of this has to be on the ownership too.

You haven't met The White Sox own, Rick Hahn. After a 4 year rebuild, he presents a thin team and the #30 farm. Doesn't know analytics, can't evaluate talent.

Also used this deal to dump David Price's salary. Weren't his hands kind of tied by ownership with Betts?

You're never going to get equal compensation for someone like Betts so attaching Price to that deal was an interesting idea.

Seems like Bloom's job to deflect most of the heat away from John Henry
