Sources confirmed on Wednesday that Craig Breslow is set to become the Boston Red Sox’s new head of baseball operations. It is believed that Breslow has already accepted the Red Sox’s offer to coach the team.
Currently the Chicago Cubs’ assistant general manager and vice president of pitching, Breslow previously played as a pitcher for the Red Sox over five seasons. He was a part of their title-winning team in 2013. Following his retirement, Breslow joined Chicago’s front office in 2019, starting out as the director of strategic initiatives for baseball operations.
The Red Sox have been on the lookout for a candidate to take over from Chaim Bloom, the previous chief baseball officer who had been fired in September following three last-place finishes in four seasons.
