Are changes coming to the Boston Red Sox front office?

Jared Carrabis of DraftKings joined Mazz on The Baseball Hour on Wednesday night and discussed the future of Chaim Bloom in the Boston Red Sox front office. On Thursday's Felger and Mazz, the guys discussed the comments that Carrabis made on Bloom's future.

Jared Carrabis on the Red Sox front office....

Jared Carrabis Audio: I'll paint the picture for you and where the Theo Epstein stuff came from, at least on my end. I was having a conversation with someone whose opinion I trust a lot, because we had the conversation after, I think, the trade deadline and I said, "this offseason is make or break for Chaim Bloom". So it never occurred to me that he wouldn't get the offseason. It just was not a thought in my mind that he wouldn't at least get this offseason, especially coming off Baseball America ranking the Red Sox farm system 5th in baseball. The first conversation I had was kind of unprovoked because again, going back to that clip, the thought never crossed my mind that he wouldn't be given the offseason. So the first one was kind of unprovoked, just like, "hey, out of nowhere, like, I don't think Chaim's making it past November". And I was like, "Really? Like, that's surprising that you feel that way". So then I kind of took that and I asked someone else whose opinion that I trust, and I said, "Do you think Chaim makes it out in November?", and they said "nope". I said, "Okay, well, if it's not Chaim, then who?" And that wasn't a David Stearns answer. That's where the Theo name came from. "I'd like to see Theo".

Felger: That was Jared Carrabis last night on The Baseball Hour with Mazz. Mazz, what are your thoughts on Carrabis's reporting there.

Mazz: So, to me, I now believe more than ever that Chaim Bloom is on the way out. And when I say I believe it more than ever, like the scenario that Jared painted right there, he's talking to somebody post trade deadline and someone says to him, "I'm not sure Bloom is going to be your past November 1st". "Really?" Jared says. Then he's talking to someone else, and someone else says, "no, I don't think he's going to be around either. I think that person's right". So look, given how much time Jared has spent around the ballpark, I think he's been talking to people over there. I couldn't tell you specifically who but I have my theories, but let's not get into that part of it. But I think the fact that he's heard it from multiple places tells me it's kind of milling about the ballpark. Like when the season ends, they're going to get rid of Chaim Bloom and they're going to bring in someone else. Now who that is? Like, you know, I am less concerned at the moment with who that is going to be because it could be another nerd. Brian Sabean's name was floating around earlier in the year, Theo's name always comes up when this happens, David Stearns is out there, but Houston and the Mets are in on him. They're going to have competition, too. There are other good markets, good teams, looking for a chief baseball executive. But it sounds like the Red Sox are serious and they should be. So I think there's a change coming. Again, as I said to you the other day, I think in the next month or so, five or six weeks, there's going to be news coming out of there that's going to make us go, "oh, okay, well, hold on everything's different now". And I think it's going to be tumultuous.

The Boston Red Sox, one of the oldest and most storied franchises in Major League Baseball history, boast a rich history. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's original eight teams, the Red Sox quickly established themselves as formidable contenders in the league.

The Red Sox achieved their first World Series victory in 1903, just two years after their inception, and went on to win four more championships in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. During this period, the team featured several legendary players who have since been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Notable among them are Tris Speaker, Harry Hooper, and Babe Ruth, who began his career as a pitcher for the Red Sox before becoming a legendary slugger with the New York Yankees.

However, the Red Sox experienced a drought in World Series victories that lasted for 86 years, commonly known as "The Curse of the Bambino." This supposed curse was attributed to the trade of Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1919. It wasn't until 2004 that the Red Sox finally broke the curse and won their sixth World Series title, an iconic moment in baseball history.

The Red Sox retired numbers include ten players who are forever legends of Jersey Street. The list includes Ted Williams (#9), Joe Cronin (#4), Bobby Doerr (#1), Carl Yastrzemski (#8), Carlton Fisk (#27), Johnny Pesky (#6), Jim Rice (#14), Pedro Martinez (#45), Wade Boggs (#26), and David Ortiz (#34). These players made significant contributions to the team and etched their names in baseball history.

The Red Sox also retired one number that holds significance beyond the team's legacy. Jackie Robinson's #42 was retired by the entire MLB in 1997 to honor the trailblazing player who broke the league's color barrier in 1947. Robinson's legacy symbolizes the fight against racial segregation in baseball and stands as a testament to the power of courage and determination in sports.

Fenway Park, the home of the Red Sox, serves as a living testament to the team's history and legacy. The plaques displayed along the exterior walls and above the right field pay tribute to the great players who have graced the field and left an indelible mark on the franchise. As fans walk into Fenway Park, they are reminded of the team's glorious past and the unforgettable moments that have shaped the history of the Boston Red Sox.

9-time All-Star Bobby Doerr is considered by many to be the best Red Sox second baseman of all time. Doerr was a key member of the mid-20th-century Red Sox squads, boasting an impressive .288 lifetime batting average.

A notable player-manager, Cronin was a winner both on the field and on the bench. He also accumulated 7 All-Star selections.

Pesky, a superb outfielder for the Sox, was known as an on-base machine and superb bunter. He is also the namesake of Fenway Park's iconic Pesky Pole.

Aside from his legendary home runs, Yaz was an 18-time All-Star, 7-time Gold Glover, and 3-time AL batting champion.

One of the greatest hitters in MLB history, Ted Williams spent his entire 19-year career with the team. Williams was a 19-time All-Star and a two-time MVP, known for his remarkable .344 lifetime batting average.

Jim Rice was arguably the best Red Sox player of the 70s and 80s, attaining 8 All-Star selections and an AL MVP in 1978.

Despite antagonizing the Red Sox faithful later in his career as a member of the New York Yankees, Boggs was a 5-time AL batting champion throughout his tenure with the Red Sox.

"Pudge" established himself as one of the MLB's premier catchers in the 70s, winning Rookie of the Year in 1972 and attaining 11 All-Star selections over the course of his 19-year career.

When you have a street named after you, it's safe to say that you've done some big things. "Big Papi" is an absolute legend in Boston, winning 3 World Series Championships en route to becoming one of the greatest power hitters of all time.

Martinez had arguably the best peak of any pitcher from 1997-2000. He also won a championship on the curse-breaking 2004 team, establishing himself as one of the most beloved players in the history of Boston sports.
