Boston Red Sox: There they go again with the sustainable business
The Boston Red Sox have lost their way.
But, here we are in 2021, Bloom in control, and the word of the hour is now “sustainable”. The question is, “sustainable what?” Looks like it means the goal is sustainable mediocrity if the club can get up to that level. Right now, they seem to be looking a long way up to mediocrity.
With the magnificent additions to this Red Sox Club (lots of utility men, that will be useful), all that seems to be sustainable will be their last-place finish of 2020. That looks very, very sustainable.
Yet, maybe lightning will strike and they actually will be not only “sustainable” but dare we hope, competitive? Let’s see how it goes. After all, that’s why they play the games.
But don’t expect too much from this club and you won’t be too disappointed. When the Yankees trade with Boston it says a lot. For the Yankees it says, we don’t even worry about that club anymore. Maybe that’s the worst insult of all. Irrelevancy.
Like Rodney Dangerfield, one of the most outstanding comedians of his time used to say, “I don’t get no respect. No respect at all.” That’s where the current version of the Boston Red Sox finds itself now.
The quest for “sustainability” should be changed to a quest for “respect-ability”. Evidently, even the arch-enemy doesn’t have any respect for the Red Sox anymore. How far the mighty have fallen.

That’s why the Red Sox ownership group should sell the team It’s time. Then they can devote full time to their English Football team, Liverpool, and let someone else fix the Red Sox.
