#RedSox Breslow says Caleb Durbin "deserves a ton of credit for what he played through." Says no surgery is planned for Durbin, either. Adds, "We have a bunch of guys that are committed to this team and to each other and want to get back on the field and compete with each other."
After follow-up appointments with doctors and further medical imaging, #RedSox Breslow says that while "we're still collecting information," Roman Anthony does not appear to need "any type of surgical intervention. Rest is likely the best path to recovery."
#RedSox Breslow say the view that traditional scouting is no longer emphasized by the club is wrong: "I think it's important that I have the chance to say that the value of scouts, the role that they fill here, is not diminished and it's not going away."
#RedSox Manager Tracy on Sonny Gray's disappointment after the ALWC Game 2 loss: "Do I think he was wanting to stay out there? Quite obviously." Says his relationship with Gray is good. "I was able to talk to him. It's in a fine place while also understanding his feelings on it."
#RedSox Breslow says he and Manager Chad Tracy had a 2+ hour private conversation with Willson Contreras yesterday. Despite Contreras' post-series seemingly negative comments about club's use of data, Willson "spoke very, very highly of his time here, how much he's looking forward to 2027."
#RedSox Breslow: "I think I'd also maybe push back a bit on this: this was kind of 35-ish games of excellence and 127 games of mediocrity when you think about or look at the overall totality of the record from July 1 on. It was 3 months of playing, I think, at a 104-win pace."
#RedSox Baseball Boss Breslow: "We didn't capitalize on our summer success, I think, is this feeling that's echoing in my head. Ultimately we fell short of the goals that we set out to accomplish." Says, "I wouldn't want that to overshadow some of the incredible accomplishments of the players."
It can be hard to capture #RedSox Baseball Boss Craig Breslow's sentiments in a few social media-ready characters.
Asked how hard it is to evaluate a season with 37 spectacular games and playing at about .500 the rest of the way, Breslow responds with a 357-word response.
#RedSox CEO Kennedy: "We commit to you that we will use that disappointment and frustration as motivation and we will improve going forward." Says, "Thank you to the best fans in baseball for supporting us all season. You guys were incredible. It was an amazing atmosphere."
#RedSox CEO Kennedy: "To our fans, you should now that while we're proud of some of the things that happened and proud that we got to the postseason, we are definitely not satisfied. Our goal was to play deep into October…and we obviously fell short of that goal."
#RedSox CEO Sam Kennedy at today's end of season press conference: "While an incredibly disappointing end and finish, I think this year said a lot about the people inside of the front office, so, I am very grateful for all your hard work and way you supported each other."
Appreciate the note, thank you. Some of the best social media interactions I’ve ever had come right here on Bluesky. Have a great off-season!
Good day, fans. I just posted a note over on the main RSNStats account about something new. bsky.app/profile/rsns...
It was a reason of extremes, no other way to say it.
#RedSox Garrett Crochet: "You know these guys grinded it all year long. I think that we're maybe a little undeserving of the fate that we got but sometimes that's the game. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's shit, and sometimes you do all the right things and it doesn't go your way."
Thanks for being here, Mike!
