Boston Red Sox fans have critiqued second-year chief baseball officer Craig Breslow for his cold communication style. The events that led up to the Rafael Devers trade confirmed the worst of everyone’s expectations. Breslow admitted during the Red Sox’s post-trade press conference that he could’ve communicated better with Devers, but that he’s unsure if that would’ve changed the outcome of the situation (based on Devers’ willingness to play first base for the Giants, this assertion seems false).
