Ex-Red Sox player hired to run team’s front office

The Boston Red Sox will have a new person running their baseball operations, and it’s someone many fans should be familiar with.

According to The Boston Globe, the Red Sox have offered the role of president of baseball operations to Craig Breslow, who has accepted the offer.

Breslow comes to the Red Sox by way of the Chicago Cubs, for whom he has worked since 2019. A report last week had said that Breslow interviewed for the job and was in consideration.

The 43-year-old Breslow pitched as a reliever in MLB for 12 seasons from 2005-17. That included two separate stints with the Red Sox in 2006 and again from 2012-15. 

Breslow played a contributory role towards Boston’s 2013 World Series title, making ten appearances that postseason with a 2.45 ERA and four total holds recorded.

After retiring, Breslow joined the front office of the Cubs and has since ascended to a prominent position behind president Jed Hoyer and GM Carter Hawkins. Breslow’s official title is Cubs assistant GM and director of pitching, duties that he has held since 2020.

The Red Sox recently fired their chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom but were struggling to attract candidates to replace Bloom. The Red Sox have finished last in the AL East in three of the past four seasons.
