The Boston Red Sox are struggling and top executive Chaim Bloom is warning of the challenges ahead.

"This isn't what any of us want," Bloom said. "There's a lot of work to do."

The Red Sox have lost seven straight and have the worst record in the American League (6-16). They have started 11 different pitchers in just 22 games.

"Obviously the results have not been what we wanted," Bloom said. "We knew that we were down a couple of pitchers and that this was going to be an area of our team that was a work in progress and certainly we've gotten really poor results so far."
