The Boston Red Sox’s season has not seemed to go the way general manager Craig Breslow and the front office had hoped it would. In April, they <\/span>fired<\/span><\/a> former manager <\/span>Alex Cora<\/span><\/a>, thinking he was the issue. As a subsequent replacement, they brought up Worcester Red Sox manager <\/span>Chad Tracy<\/span><\/a> to take over. Despite Tracy doing slightly better than Cora in a 27-game span (which is how many games Cora managed this season before being fired), the Red Sox still struggled in that span and continue to do so now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So what continues to be the problem then? The pitching has remained good (for the most part) despite an <\/span>injury<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Garrett Crochet<\/span><\/a>. The lineup had some holes even when <\/span>fellow injured stars<\/span><\/a> Roman Anthony<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Trevor Story<\/span><\/a> were playing. So many fans turn their heads toward Breslow. And recent updates have shown that the controversial GM won\u2019t be going anywhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Per Tim Healey of the Boston Globe (subscription required for the article linked in the tweet), the Red Sox are not considering firing Breslow. Breslow was <\/span>hired<\/span><\/a> back in 2023 after the firing of now St Louis Cardinals GM Chaim Bloom. The move was made because of Breslow\u2019s (highly strategic philosophy) and his ability to succeed in \u201cplayer acquisition, development, and execution at the major league level\u201d (<\/span>per ESPN back in 2023<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
