Craig Breslow Rejoins Red Sox as Chief Baseball Officer

Craig Breslow, a former pitcher and current executive for the Chicago Cubs, is reportedly returning to the Boston Red Sox as their top baseball official. Breslow, who helped the Red Sox win the 2013 World Series, is known for his expertise in pitching development, an area where the Red Sox have struggled. He will be tasked with improving the team's farm system and bringing the big league club back to success in the AL East. Breslow's hiring comes after a search process that saw Boston interview multiple candidates, and he will join a leadership group that includes assistant general managers Eddie Romero, Raquel Ferreira, and Mike Groopman.
