Gaspel will join us in the 4 o'clock hour.

Got Matt McCarthy and Bigger Murray alongside taking you into your Labor Day weekend.

McCarthy had a really interesting thought today, I think.

And that is this, you know, Red Sox saying they're bringing back Bloom and Alex Cora is half the story and not really covering it because maybe Alex Cora isn't long for this team under these current conditions.

Maybe Alex Cora wants to be a GM.

Maybe Alex Cora wants to be a GM on this team.

Dan Chossey today followed up with Heim Bloom on a lot of this stuff.

Is that right, McCarthy?

What do you write? Dan Chonesey did have an opportunity to speak with Heim Bloom on a lot of the stuff. Is that right, McCarthy? What do you write?

Dan Chonnessy did have an opportunity to speak with Heimblum, not specifically about this, but about just the way things went this year. A suck season? Yes, the overall sucks season. And hold on, why don't I? I did enjoy this line from Dan. Thanks for the time, Heim, but watch your back. ownership always need to scapegoat, which I would, of course, look at yesterday's Channel Media and Market Survey and say that ownership based on those numbers, if they want to scapegoat anybody, fans would certainly be happy with, uh, trai, uh, scapegoating Heinblum. Uh, they talked about first base, right field bullpen, all that. I'll dive through it and I'll see if there's anything worthwhile. McCarthy's point today is that maybe Alex Corr doesn't want to stick around for this as a manager. And, you know, maybe it's a, maybe Alex Corr is making noise internally about him or me. And whether that means bringing in a new GM or making Core the GM himself. I mean, you think that's what Alex Cora wants?

I think I know Alex Cora wants to be a general manager. I mean, he's talked about that publicly. I believe he's talked about it even more strongly, privately. So I'm just putting two and two together. Alex Cora doesn't want to stick around here and manage a last place team. That's not me saying that. That's people close to Alex Corr saying that.

That's people like Ken Rosenthal, Tim Kirchen, Busterolny, people who are tied in. Alex Corr doesn't want to stick around and manage this crap. He doesn't want to grind it out. When you say tied in, they're co-workers of Alex Corp. They're tight with them. He spent, again, was it just one year at ESPN? He's one or two. Whatever it was, he was out there with those guys. And he's very popular with them. You got Ken Rosenthal talking about, oh, there's a member of a rival club who says that Alex Corr isn't there to manage long time, a friend at a rival club. It's Aaron Boone. They worked together at ESPN. So like Alex Corr is tied in with everybody. And now all of a sudden in the last week, you start hearing kind of people saying, well, I don't know if Alex Corr wants to stick around and, you know, manage a team that's not going to contend. He wants to win. All Alex Corr wants to do is win. And then they kind of casually mentioned, well, we don't really know what Heim Bloom wants to do.

I'm just putting two and two together.

Alex Cora has said publicly, he wants to be a general manager someday.

He's talked about having young kids.

All of a sudden, we believe that there are issues between him and Heim Bloom.

If Alex Cora doesn't want to manage this team anymore, why wouldn't he want Hein Bloom's job?

If I were Alex Cora, I'd want Heinbloom's job. Ownership loves me. I'd have a lot of job security. Overall, the town loves him. People like him here. Alex Cora would be a perfect fit to be general manager of the Boston Red Sox. Interesting theory. Wayne and Yarmouth lead us off this hour. Go ahead, please. Well, I got to tell you that, you know, whether you like it or not McCarthy, Bloom is here
