The Red Sox finally found the person to take over for Chaim Bloom: Cubs assistant GM Craig Breslow will be the new President of Baseball Operations in Boston
Don't underestimate the fact that he and Cora were teammates, and since he seems to wielding and awful lot of clout around there, I think it was important. I think being a New England native is also huge. While Bloom can say whatever he wants about understanding the passion of Red Sox fans, I don't think he truly got it. Breslow, having grown up with it and playing there, does.
Why is a Yale degree required to be a Red Sox GM in the 21st Century! Are there no baseball schools in Boston? Just asking for the analytics folks at MIT!
I guess ownership could change ... but until they prove otherwise, we can continue to speculate if Eddie Romero will be a candidate for POBO in the fall of 2027.

I'm not sure why the Yale thing is coming up so much. It's kinda odd.

I have no doubt that Breslow is capable of doing a great job in this role. The question is whether ownership will let him.
Ok. I changed my mind. I’ll interview for the position.
Ha! I laughed!
One does have to wonder if Alfredo Aceves is under consideration to be Breslow’s #2 as General Manager...
