The Boston Globe's Julian McWilliams saw Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom in the airport just hours after Xander Bogaerts signed with the San Diego Padres.

Jake Ignaszewski sits down with Julian to discuss his conversation with Bloom and broke down how it all came about during a tough time for everyone in Red Sox Nation. So, who will fill the void left behind by Bogaerts in the Red Sox middle infield? Julian shares his thoughts on that, as well as the possibility of Alex Verdugo getting traded.

Also, should we be worried that the Kenley Jansen deal has yet to be announced by the Red Sox? Who will be taken off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Boston's new closer?
