Now that Spring Training is fully underway, a lot of Boston Red Sox personnel are answering some of the biggest questions the media and fans have had all offseason. A big one that's on a lot of people's minds: is Chaim Bloom on the hot seat? Bloom has had mixed results since being hired in 2019 and Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy shared some clarity on the situation. Alex Verdugo also approached Red Sox leadership about a contract extension and has expressed a desire to stay in Boston.

Jake Ignaszewski shares his thoughts on if Chaim Bloom is on the hot seat and if this is a make-it-or-break year for him. Iggy looks at both sides on why it could be and why it couldn't be and explain how his view of Bloom has changed throughout the years. Iggy then looks at if the Red Sox should extend Alex Verdugo and shares a contract that he'd feel comfortable offering Dugie. Iggy then reacts to Twitter responses about Bloom's job security and Verdugo's possible extension. Lastly, Iggy reacts to Cora's comments about how he'll use pitchers to begin Spring Training games.
