    Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said that “everything has to be on the table” in regards to offseason trades for the Red Sox.
    Last week, Breslow mentioned that the Red Sox would likely need to trade away a left-handed hitting outfielder or middle infielder this offseason due to a roster crunch, but it appears that any player could be traded for the right return. While that likely doesn’t include players like Rafael Devers or Brayan Bello, who signed long-term contracts this season, but other big names like Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, or Masataka Yoshida might be available if the Red Sox can get help for their rotation or bullpen, which Breslow admitted was a major priority this offseason.
  • BOS General Manager #73
    Red Sox have hired Driveline’s Kyle Boddy to serve as a Special Advisor to Craig Breslow and the Red Sox on pitching research and development for the coming season, according to The Athletic’s Eno Sarris.
    Breslow himself has a long track record of developing pitching, both as a former major league pitcher himself and while working in the Cubs organization. The Red Sox also hired well-regarded pitching coach Andrew Bailey away from the Giants and brought in former Twins’ minor league pitching coordinator Justin Willard to oversee their organization’s pitching development. All of these signs point pretty clearly to the Red Sox now being near the forefront of analytics and motion capture data in pitching development.

    Red Sox hired Craig Breslow as chief baseball officer.
    Breslow officially takes over at the helm of Boston’s front office after spending the last few years as the Cubs’ assistant general manager. The 43-year-old, who hails from Connecticut, spent 12 years pitching in the majors before joining Chicago’s front office after retiring following the 2018 season.
  • CHC General Manager #73
    The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney reports the Red Sox are hiring Cubs assistant general manager Craig Breslow as their next chief baseball officer.
    Breslow, 43, became a front-runner for the Red Sox’ job last week — and after other candidates removed their names for consideration over the past few days it seemed as though the writing was on the wall. Breslow is expected to have the opportunity to hire his own general manager. He’ll be inheriting a team where manager Alex Cora is only under contract through the 2024 season, so his first order of business could be working on an extension to give his manager some job security.
  • MIN General Manager
    The Athletic’s Chad Jennings and Dan Hayes report that Twins general manager Thad Levine is no longer in the mix for the Red Sox’ president of baseball operations vacancy.
    Alex Speier of the Boston Globe has reported that the Red Sox have interviewed at least eight first-round candidates, including Levine, but that they’ve moved on to the second round of their hiring process to find their next head of baseball operations. Speier adds that multiple sources believe Cubs assistant general manager Craig Breslow has made it to the second round. No other candidates are known at this juncture.
  • CHC General Manager #73
    The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney reports the Red Sox are targeting Cubs executive Craig Breslow for their president of baseball operations vacancy.
    Breslow, who pitched for 12 seasons in the majors, and also won a World Series title with the Red Sox back in 2013, is reportedly in “advanced discussions” to serve as Boston’s next president of baseball operations. The 43-year-old Connecticut native joined the Cubs front office back in 2019 when Theo Epstein was still running baseball operations, and has risen to the rank of assistant general manager and senior vice president of pitching. His ties to New England and the Red Sox make him a logical choice, but it remains to be seen if he’ll want to step into a front office role where he won’t be able to pick his own manager with Alex Cora, who clearly has front office aspirations of his own, set to return for the 2024 season.

    Padres optioned LHP Craig Breslow to Triple-A Portland.
    Breslow heads back to the minors, but he’s guaranteed himself a September callup by allowing two runs in 8 2/3 innings while mopping up for the Padres.
  • BOS General Manager #73
    The Cubs have hired Craig Breslow as the team’s director of strategic initiatives for baseball operations.
    Breslow double-majored in molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale, so it always figured that teams would eventually attempt to hire him for a front office role. According to the team, he’ll “help to evaluate and implement data-based processes throughout all facets of Baseball Operations. He will also support the organization’s pitching infrastructure in Player Development and the major leagues.” The 38-year-old spent the 2018 season in the Blue Jays’ minor league system, posting a 5.40 ERA across three different levels. He’ll wrap up his playing career with a 3.45 ERA over 576 appearances in the majors between stops with the Red Sox, Twins, Athletics, Indians, Diamondbacks, Padres, and Marlins.

    Craig Breslow is considering retirement and has been talking to teams about a non-playing role, per Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston.
    Breslow, a Yale alum, has always seemed like a good bet to join a front office once his playing days were through. And it sounds like he is ready to make that transition this winter. The 38-year-old left-hander spent the 2018 season in the Blue Jays’ minor league system, posting a 5.40 ERA across three different levels.

    Red Sox optioned LHP Craig Breslow to Triple-A Pawtucket.
    Even with the doubleheader today and two starters who can’t be counted on to combine for 10 innings against the Yankees, the Red Sox are returning to 12 pitchers to make room for Eric Hinske. It was either this or find a way to stash Gabe Kapler on the DL.
