Red Sox ownership may be losing faith in Craig Breslow as deadline pressure rises

Ownership is helping Boston pursue a right-handed power bat as the club sits last in the American League East, sources said.

  • Boston Red Sox ownership has become heavily involved in trade efforts to acquire a right-handed power bat, according to insider Buster Olney, who reported that an owner is personally calling around to facilitate deals.
  • Despite the club's 27-37 record and mounting pressure, Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow is not in danger of being fired, The Boston Globe's Tim Healey reported Monday.
  • Entering their series against the Tampa Bay Rays, the team ranked last in baseball with 48 home runs, following the April firing of manager Alex Cora and limited gains under interim manager Chad Tracy.
  • Part-Owner and senior advisor Theo Epstein has expressed disappointment regarding the organization's analytical direction under Breslow, though the team remains four games from a wild-card spot.
  • With the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaching, the Red Sox remain focused on bolstering the current roster rather than pivoting toward a 2027 rebuild, prioritizing immediate performance improvements.
