Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are riding high after a five-game winning streak, capped by a convincing 5-0 victory over the White Sox, showcasing a resilient team spirit even as injuries stack up. Willson Contreras, who left the game after fouling a ball off his foot, adds to a growing list of concerns for a team already battling a MASH unit on the right side of the infield. Yet, with a recent push that has them 9-2 in their last 11 games, the Sox remain in contention, albeit with a 41-48 record that keeps them 12 games behind the division-leading Rays. As the season unfolds, there are whispers of a playoff push, but the front office's decisions, spearheaded by Craig Breslow, will be under scrutiny as fans hope for tangible improvements on the field.

Analyzing Craig Breslow as if He Were a Developing Young Player
To call Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow unpopular in his market would be underselling it. He’s more than earned that with his up-and-down tenure to date. Through two and a half seasons under Breslow, the Red Sox are 211-202. They made the playoffs in 2025, but lost to the New York Yankees […] The post Analyzing Craig Breslow as if He Were a Developing Young Player appeared first on Just Baseball.
