Will Craig Breslow Apologize For The Awful Luis Garcia Trade?

May I direct your attention towards something? I dare you to watch this video and tell me why I’m wrong. You can have all the hindsight bias. I don’t need it. Craig Breslow is a clown and it’s time for him to start proving his worth. The 2025 MLB Offseason is a crucial one for Breslow. I just think he owes all of us an apology first for that awful Luis Garcia trade.

García, 37, was acquired for a handful of prospects including Niko KavadasMatthew LugoYeferson Vargas, and Ryan Zeferjahn. It was mostly filler prospects (with the exception for Lugo who Sox fans should be sick about flushing down the toilet for nothing). However, Garcia pitched like such trash that it has to be talked about.

In 15 relief outings with Boston, Garcia tossed a 1.630 WHIP and 8.22 ERA. You could have called up a random from AA and he probably would have done better. Garcia’s meltdowns are a huge reason why Boston missed the postseason. What’s more disgusting is Breslow probably wasted numerous days/hours trying to get this awful trade hammered out instead of actually trying to land someone who could have made a real difference.

By the way, none of this is surprising. This is a bit of a secret but I used to work for the Phillies. Garcia got his start in Philadelphia and was trash with them even during a much younger age. Garcia spent his age 26-31 seasons in Philly. Three of them resulted in an ERA above 6. The guy has always stunk.

Breslow should be slapped in the face for making this trade and it’s an abomination that he hasn’t even tried to apologize for it. If this is the way he’s going to operate in Boston, the Sox are completely screwed.
