Craig Breslow Admits The Front Office Botched The 2024 MLB Trade Deadline

Craig Breslow Admits The Front Office Botched The 2024 MLB Trade Deadline

I understand that I’m the Rodney Dangerfield of sports media and can’t get any respect despite being the most talented individual in the industry. With that said, it sure feels like someone needs to be talking about the fact that Craig Breslow essentially admitted I can run a baseball team better than him.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane. I posted this video right after the conclusion of the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline. I said the same thing over and over again.

It turns out Trey was right again. The Red Sox are 4.5 games out of a wildcard and totally tanked during the second half of the season. All of the deadline pick ups have basically been busts and haven’t really helped the team out at all either.

Breslow faced the music in a recent interview with WEEI and admitted the front office screwed things up.

“I think it’s a fair question. It’s one we need to answer,” Breslow said of the team’s recent downward trend in the second halves of seasons.

“I don’t think that this is an Alex Cora thing. I think this is something that requires us to look at the composition of the roster, to look at the workloads, to make sure that I, and we, in the [front] office are bringing in enough depth that we can weather injuries, bumps and bruises, that we’re still pushing development so that guys are better in the second half than they are in the first.”

When asked whether the front office should be blamed for the second-half swoon, Breslow responded, “I mean, I suppose, in some ways, the answer to that could be yes.”

“At the time, given the information that we had, we executed what, you know, what we thought was a successful deadline,” he continued.

Do I even have to say anything else? That’s a mic drop right there. Once again, a general manager running a multi-billion dollar franchise has admitted that he can’t do the job as well as Trey could have.

At what point do the rest of you fold your cards?
