Craig Breslow will be the new head of baseball operations for the Boston Red Sox, with the former big league reliever accepting the team's offer Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney, confirming a report in The Boston Globe.
Breslow was a longtime pitcher in the majors, including five seasons with the Red Sox — the first in 2006, and then a four-year run from 2012 to '15.
A lefty reliever, he was part of Boston's title-winning team in 2013. The 43-year-old Breslow was most recently the assistant general manager for the Cubs.
In September, the Red Sox fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom after four seasons that included three last-place finishes, including one in 2023.
