The Boston Red Sox are in the middle of a disaster of a season and it's spiraling out of control.
After being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-game series, the Red Sox are now 27-39 on the season. The Red Sox are actually tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the fewest wins in the American League with their 27. That's horrible.
Now, of course, losing Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony to the Injured List is tough. But should they be potentially the worst team in the American League? No.
The pitching is there for this club to be better than they have been, but the offense has been that bad. Naturally, with the club struggling, there has been growing noise around Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. While this is the case, Red Sox president and chief executive officer Sam Kennedy doubled down and specifically made it clear on Thursday that Breslow isn't going anywhere.
"I fully understand the questions about Craig Breslow and his job security and all of that, but the issue of change there, just to be clear, is not on the table. He is working as hard as anyone to get things back on track," Kennedy said while joining "The Greg Hill Show" on WEEI.
Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reported early in the week that Breslow was staying. So, this isn't overtly shocking, but is an example of the club taking a hard stance.
Is it the right call? Let us know.
Something needs to change in Boston.
