From afar, Chaim is a damn fool for trading Mookie but John Henry and Co seem to be using him as a scapegoat for their recent self-imposed financial restrictions and other questionable decisions. Once they sell Liverpool I'm sure the Sox will be back to top 3-5 in payroll.
Ownership brought him in to clean house and get under the tax line. The decision to trade Mookie was ownership. The lack of return was Bloom. They both f'd up honestly.
The timing is weird. Ownership was finally feeling the heat from fans, sponsors, players, etc.
