Daily Red Sox Links: Chaim Bloom, Blake Snell, Jackie Bradley Jr.

The Blake Snell trade remains the biggest piece of news in baseball right now, though the Yu Darvish deal isn’t far behind. Go Padres, I guess. Anyway, Chaim Bloom was asked about the Snell deal and whether a deal could’ve happened to bring the ace to the Red Sox instead. (Chris Cotillo; Masslive)

Bloom also was asked about Jackie Bradley Jr., which comes as no surprise as the longtime center fielder remains a strong fit and is still out in free agency. As has been the case all winter, Bloom had nothing but positive things to say about Bradley and the team’s desire to bring him back. (Logan Mullen; NESN)
