Red Sox Used AI Bot For 5 Rounds of Interviews With Front Office Candidate

Red Sox Used AI Bot For 5 Rounds of Interviews With Front Office Candidate

Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Craig Breslow is quite literally a robot. Forget about having real leadership qualities (which he obviously doesn’t have). Breslow doesn’t even speak to people and lets a robot do all the interviews for him.

Joon Lee’s piece on the Rafael Devers trade drama was one thing. The Yahoo Sports writer then made an appearance on NBC Sports Boston’s Arbella Early Edition on Tuesday, where he dropped the hammer.

Lee told a story about how the Red Sox apparently lean on the AI chatbot for their interviews. This isn’t just one round of interviews. It’s five rounds of interviews without speaking to an actual real person.

“What’s happening with the Red Sox, with Sam Kennedy, with Craig Breslow, with Alex Cora, is a state of organizational dysfunction,” Lee said, as seen in the video player above. “I heard last night about an interview with — the Red Sox were trying to recruit a new person for their baseball operations department, and during this interview process, the entire interview was conducted with an AI bot, where you would record the answers to the questions and then the Red Sox would then evaluate them.

“And this wasn’t just one round. It wasn’t just two rounds. It was five rounds of interviews where this person did not talk to another person in the Red Sox organization.

“This source told me that he had also interviewed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers have kind of been the organization that the Red Sox have been trying to emulate for the last five years (in terms of) sustainability, a big market team that knows how to spend money at times, but also is able to develop young prospects, which they’ve done successfully over the course of the last decade.

“What he told me was that the gap between the field, the people skills of (Dodgers president of baseball ops) Andrew Friedman — who, obviously relies a lot on numbers dating back to his time in Tampa Bay — and what he dealt with with Craig Breslow was so far apart that it seemed like utterly delusional that the idea that this is what the Red Sox think the Dodgers are doing is just absolutely crazy.

“The gap between the two organizations and how they’re trying to function is just miles and worlds apart.”

I Want To Personally Congratulate WEEI For Having Zero Viral Clips After The Rafael Devers Trade

I genuinely don’t know what more I need to say. Breslow belongs in jail, and the way the Sox are being run should be viewed as completely embarrassing. I don’t have anything against AI. I have everything against the way the Sox are using it.

Five rounds of interviews without speaking to a real person? And we’re supposed to view this information as totally normal? This story isn’t close to going away.
