What more do I need to say? Should I just close out the blog after this?
Listen, after the original Betts deal went down, me and my best friend Chaim had to sit down to discuss things. I told him Jeter Downs had to be in the trade. What are we doing throwing in a reliever with a shot arm? We have a chance to find the Dustin Pedroia replacement. You gotta fix this.
It took a few days, but Bloom listened to me and fixed it. He didn’t just fix it, he added in an offensive catcher into the mix too who tore the cover off the ball in AA last year. Listen, when Jeters Downs becomes a star for Boston, you can send me a thank you card. Our lunch at Legal Seafood in Boston changed the course of history. I’m just happy that he eventually listened to me.
My job with the Red Sox is now on the line. Sometimes you gotta stick your neck out there to get results. If Jeter Downs ends up terrible, Bloom will probably fire me. In that case, I deserve to get whacked. It won’t happen. My guy Jeter Downs is a stud. The Red Sox found their cornerstone 2nd baseman for the future.
What the rest of the world doesn’t know is that Mookie is coming back to Boston in 2021 anyway. We had to reset the farm. Get some young talent in here for when we re-sign Betts in the offseason. Little do the Dodgers know that sticking them with part of David Price is what clogs up their cap for when they try to re-sign Betts. Sit tight Red Sox fans. We have a plan.
