Things aren’t going well in the Red Sox front office. 

In the latest of several organizational exposés, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that there’s a major rift between chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and some longtime Red Sox employees. 

The franchise reportedly fired “around 50” employees last offseason after an outside audit from the consulting firm Sportsology Group, leading to a shrinkage of “Breslow’s circle of trust” in the organization and an increase in “his reliance on the team’s analytical model.”

“There are definitely turncoats internally plotting against Bres,” one anonymous source told Passan.

Breslow has faced increased scrutiny since trading franchise star Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday in exchange for Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, James Tibbs III and Jose Bello. 

The trade was seen as a culmination of a breakdown in communications between Devers and the Red Sox front office that started over the offseason after the team asked him to move from third base to designated hitter following the signing of Alex Bregman. 

Breslow, the former big league pitcher who joined the organization before the 2024 season to replace Chaim Bloom, has also reportedly butted heads with manager Alex Cora, with the latter emphasizing winning now while Breslow is looking more toward the future.

Yahoo Sports painted a similar picture of the Red Sox organization, with one team staffer describing it as “an absolute s–tshow” that the team swept the rival Yankees and made a franchise-altering trade of a beloved superstar just hours later.

Despite uproar from inside and outside the club, Breslow said during a press conference after the Devers trade was in “no way a signifying of the waving of the white flag” on this season. 

“I acknowledge that kind of on paper, we’re not going to have the same lineup as we did,” Breslow said. “This is about the game that’s played on the field and ultimately on winning the most games that we can. … I do think there is a real chance that at the end of the season we’re looking back at more wins than we otherwise would have.”
