Red Sox not considering firing Craig Breslow, for now
The Boston Globe • • sports
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox are not considering firing chief baseball officer Craig Breslow despite the team's underperformance and speculation about his job security, according to a team source.
- The Red Sox currently hold a 27-37 record, last in the AL East, but remain only four games behind a wild-card spot in a weak American League.
- After firing manager Alex Cora and six coaches in late April, the team has been led by interim manager Chad Tracy, with a 17-20 record since the change.
- The organization is focusing on improving the roster through trades rather than selling off players, with the trade deadline set for August 3, allowing time to evaluate their direction.
- Breslow emphasized the need to win more games and improve consistency before making significant moves, noting that many teams are in similar positions and trade negotiations have been challenging.
