We'll have to ask him about Robert Johnson the next time he comes in.

I'm more of a Blind Willie Johnson man myself.
You have to have an idea first, before you can formulate a plan, and I think Bloom is still looking for that first idea thus the looking for the third option at the fork in the road analogy, because if those first offers to Bogey, and Raffy were his plan he’d better come up with a new one, because that certainly didn’t work.
I believe that they have a plan and it’s right in front of us, the Rays plan, have one or two players with draw appeal (Franco now Kiermaier soon to be gone) invest in pitching, and have a few prospects with cheap minor league contracts, and some low cost one year free agents and hope you catch lightning in a bottle
[QUOTE=moonslav59;1498842]The Rays never sign Story for $140M/6.
The Rays would have sold off Bogey a year or three ago.
The Rays would have traded Kiki, Nate, Wacha, Hill and Strahm at the deadline.
The Rays would never have traded for JBJ's contract or Ottavino's.
Need more?[/
All I can say is maybe Bloom wasn’t the star in Tampa we thought he was if he made that many mistakes, or he realized he would have been run out of Boston or probably a combination of both
