How did the Red Sox end up with such a glaring gap in their talent base?

Good organizations that want to sustain competitiveness over time and avoid the valleys always focus on where their talent base is at, where their pipeline is at,” said Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom. If you ever stop worrying about the future entirely, you’re sort of dooming yourself to not have a very good one. If our goal is to be competitive as much as possible and ideally always, then some part of our energy always has to be focused on making sure that pipeline is strong.
