Craig Breslow Reflects On Firing Alex Cora After Red Sox Clinch Postseason Berth

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow recently reflected on the decision to fire manager Alex Cora after the team secured their postseason berth. The move came after a disappointing 10-17 start to the season. Since then, interim manager Chad Tracy has led the team to a turnaround, but Breslow attributes much of the success to the players' performance and health.

Breslow believes in his players and believes the decision to fire Cora was the right one, allowing for a supportive environment that allowed the team to thrive. One example of Breslow's belief in his players is Caleb Durbin, who was acquired to replace Alex Bregman and has been playing at a high level since back-to-back off days in May.

Despite not having their top pitchers Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony, the team has managed to turn the season around, with Crochet potentially returning for October.
