Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Craig Breslow, Boston Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer, has been actively managing the team through a tumultuous 2026 season. After a disastrous 10-17 start, Breslow made the bold decision to fire manager Alex Cora and several coaching staff members on April 25, 2026, while retaining pitching coaches. Breslow has defended these decisions, denying rumors of disconnect with Cora and addressing concerns about clubhouse friction. He remains confident in the roster's playoff potential despite the slow start, expressing expectations to play quality baseball and be aggressive at the trade deadline. The Red Sox have since improved to 16-22 after winning four of their last five games.
