Wishful thinking, or actual news?Fuld as bench coach and let’s go.
Hope this is true, and that Bloom really did make the call.
Would this really work? Unless it's 100% Cora's idea to bring Fuld in, instead of bringing back Roenicke or someone else of Cora's choosing, I would think the dynamic of "he was their back up choice" would cause some friction.Fuld as bench coach and let’s go.
Why?Well, I kind of hate this, but whatever. Laundry.
I just wanted a fresh start. Cora will always have a bit of a taint to him.Why?
I can’t even imagine what that would be exactly.If we can get some good Pats news, it will be an all-timer of a day.
Yes, have the Sox just started the clock on Bloom's departure?I am happy with this, but I echo the idea that this better have been Bloom's choice.
It could be that they convinced Fuld he needed more experience and seasoning, and maybe be ready for a managing position after even one season in Boston. Not a terrible bench to be sitting on if baseball looks and feels more like actual baseball next year. And it's not prohibitive as a lateral or backwards move if next season is as goofy as 2020 with regards to Covid and scheduling. He still gets the experience and benefit of the doubt.Would this really work?

I was more thinking about it from Cora's perspective...possibly looking over his shoulder because his potential replacement is right next to him.It could be that they convinced Fuld he needed more experience and seasoning, and maybe be ready for a managing position after even one season in Boston.
