​Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig BreslowBoston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow was on the hot seat coming into the 2026 season. But after the scorching Sox have won 31 of their last 36 games, is Breslow’s job security no longer in question?”‘Safe’ is always a relative term in Boston, given the way the team has cycled through chief baseball executives in recent years,” The Athletic’s Andy McCullough wrote Friday. “But the team has responded to Breslow’s decision to fire Alex Cora and the majority of the coaching staff. Breslow changed course from previous years and hunted present-day value at the deadline. The Sox have a real chance to make the World Series,” McCullough added.They sure do, based on FanGraphs’ projections. Thanks in part to the Red Sox’s current eight-game winning streak, Boston has a 7.0% chance of winning the World Series. Only the New York Yankees (8.9%) and Tampa Bay Rays (8.1%) have better odds to represent the American League in the Fall Classic.Looking for the perfect gift for a baseball player in your life?
