He’s had a good year this year. Hitting .304 with a .494 SLG% in AA/AAA. Don’t know that we could get him for Matz though.

Yep, called it. Boston fans joked about how much Bloom believed in him. Having a good year this year. Appears Jordan needed protecting on 40 man and Red Sox were not putting him on 40 man roster

Seriously? For what we got for Helsley! We will get nothing near as good as this guy!

I bet BDW had Mo and Bloom do a trade off. See who could get the better return.

Mo got Helsley and Bloom got Matz

Hitting very well for a 22 year old in AAA right now although not a ton of homeruns this year. Any idea on his defense? Ive seen he splits time between 3b and 1b. Is there any chance he can stick at 3b or is he bound for 1b. Would be immensely more valuable if he could stick at 3b.
