“United we stand” – Sam Kennedy backs Alex Cora’s management and Chaim Bloom’s terms

The Red Sox have been pummeling on numerous occasions and Alex Cora hasn’t kept his annoyance with the play a secret. This could explicate his pleading with Chaim Bloom the chief baseball officer to add reinforcements. However, Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy stated on “The Greg Hill Show” that’s not the case.

“I’ve been in baseball since 1993 and typically the perception that sports figures are talking to each other through the media in the organizations that I’ve seen is just never true,” Kennedy said on Tuesday. “And I can say with absolute certainty that Chaim and Alex Cora have perhaps the best manager/general manager relationship that I’ve seen in my time here. They’ve got an incredibly open dialogue, and honest dialogue and all of us talk all the time on a daily basis, so everyone is on the same page. …”

“When we’re not playing well, it’s frustrating,” Kennedy later added. “But we believe in this team, we believe in Alex, and in terms of Chaim Bloom and the entire baseball ops front office, they have a close relationship with the staff and are in touch all the time and no one is talking to each other through the media, I can assure you of that. If we express frustration publicly, that’s because we’re frustrated.”

“There isn’t a rift between the two,” says Sam Kennedy on Alex Cora and Chaim Bloom

There is some perspective to be gained here. The Red Sox aren’t submitting a lineup card that resembles a contending team right now. However, they’ve been decimated by injuries to the point where even the deepest of teams would be tested. Having said that, the Red Sox is in a precarious position.

Becoming full-fledged sellers would break the spirit of a team that isn’t all that far out of contention for the playoffs, but it could help them retool quickly for 2023. They could make some minor adjustments and ride with the current group in the hopes that their health improves, but if they fall short, there will be a lot of second-guessing about what they could have done at the deadline.

Sam Kennedy backed Alex Cora and Chaim Bloom. If Cora’s and Bloom’s relationship is as peaceful as Kennedy portrays it, they’ll discuss their needs behind closed doors rather than into a microphone after being walloped.
