If you’re among those pining for Theo Epstein to return to the Red Sox and replace Chaim Bloom, John Tomase has a dose of reality for you.
Unless he buys the team outright from John Henry, color me skeptical that Epstein would entertain an offer to run the Red Sox' baseball operations again, even as part owner, a possibility blithely mentioned as if FSG hands out ownership stakes like juice boxes at summer camp.
It's hard to imagine why he would short-circuit that bliss to rejoin a franchise he didn't leave on the best terms, and which faces serious challenges of the internal and external varieties. He'd also return to a team embroiled in an identity crisis. The Red Sox don't seem to know what they are right now. They're building through the farm, but it hasn't gotten them anywhere. The next step could involve spending, except ownership seems comfortable downsizing to the middle class. It could also mean trading prospects, which hasn't happened under Bloom.
That's partly because of the position Bloom has put them in, relying so heavily on prospects who are by no means can't-miss.
