Craig Breslow made a huge mistake. He signed Alex Bregman without telling his star player, Rafael Devers. Now, both are gone. This is just one reason why the Boston Red Sox are struggling with a bad .422 winning percentage. They have a 27-37 record and sit near the bottom of the league. And now, owner John Henry has clarified his plans about his Chief Baseball Officer.

“The Red Sox are NOT considering firing Craig Breslow,” Gordo cited The Boston Globe’s Tim Healey.

Despite an underwhelming performance, Boston’s front office didn’t even discuss Breslow’s future. The Red Sox are still five games behind a wild-card spot in the American League, and firing the Chief Baseball Officer now could have a detrimental impact.

“Further, amid the team’s underperformance – and speculation that Breslow may be on the hot seat – the club’s ownership hierarchy has not even discussed making a change, the source said. That represents a measure of clarity at a time when the Red Sox, in Breslow’s third season as the top baseball executive, are navigating an uncertain middle portion of the season,” Healey added.

Earlier this year, the front office showed they weren’t afraid to make changes when they fired manager Alex Cora after a bad 10-17 start. Players weren’t happy about it.

“Some of the best coaches in the world didn’t get a fair shot,” Trevor Story said after Cora was fired, hinting at a clubhouse disagreement over the matter. The front office still proceeded and had the fans’ backing.

This time, though, fans wonder what made Henry still believe in his CBO.

Breslow’s tenure shouldn’t be measured only by the numbers, but also by how he made some roster dealings.

Probably the biggest botched decision was that with Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers.

By signing Bregman without letting Devers know, he upset the team. Devers was later traded to the San Francisco Giants and has eight home runs this season. Bregman also left for free agency and is hitting .243 with the Cubs. Breslow is also accused of mispredicting Kristian Campbell and Brayan Bello.

Campbell is extended for eight years with $60 million, and Bello is extended for six years with $55 million. Result? Campbell was demoted to the minors after hitting .223 in the majors last year. Bello was recently demoted after struggling with a 6.34 ERA.

With such stats under his sleeve and the team still struggling on the field, fans expected the Red Sox front office to get tough with Craig Breslow. However, with different updates coming out, fans are left unimpressed.

Fans call out the Red Sox over their Craig Breslow decision

According to the fans, there’s no one worse than Breslow in the franchise.

“That’s wild considering how terrible he’s been. Literally the worst member of the Red Sox,” one fan said. “Someone get rid of him, by any means necessary,” another added.

After the 2025 season, Breslow entered the offseason needing a middle-of-the-order slugger but missed out on top free agents like Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, and Eugenio Suárez. However, not all decisions went down as Breslow’s 2026 addition, Willson Contreras, is hitting .294.

Still, for the fans, Breslow failed to field a contending team, and that sums up their struggle on the field.

“They will not do anything till August, and see what happens!” One user suggested.

Breslow has one more chance to set the record straight by this trade deadline. A few big names like Isaac Paredes and Ketel Marte are rumored to be on the Red Sox’s radar to boost the offense. Absolutely important for Breslow to make the right moves. If the Red Sox can improve after the All-Star break, he might get off his hot seat.

A few fans are even blaming the attendees for not putting enough pressure on the ownership.

“I mean, he’s saving John Henry money, and people are still spending money on the team, and apparently ownership cares more about that than winning,” one fan said.

“Fans need to stop showing up to Fenway so ownership can see how disgruntled they are. Don’t put money anymore in the owner’s pockets until they clean house. This has gone on long enough,” another agreed.

Fans are frustrated with the product, but still, Fenway Park is ranked 10th in 2026 in terms of attendance. Fenway Park averaged 34,252 attendees in 31 games so far. So, despite the team not performing well, the ownership has its cash register ringing. For a few, why would they be bothered when profit is still coming? People speculate that, from a business side, Breslow might be doing exactly what ownership wants.

The trade deadline might be the last station for Craig Breslow to make things correct.
