It’s already the day after Thanksgiving, but it’s never too late to express thanks. Even as we collectively move on to Black Friday, I wanted to be sure to say that I’m thankful for two main things as a Red Sox fan right now.
I’m thankful for Craig Breslow and the fresh start that he brings to our team.
It’s still early days, so his track record is limited, but there’s reason for optimism. His earliest moves are intended to bolster our pitching: he declined Corey Kluber’s option, protected pitchers Wikelman Gonzalez and Luis Perales from the Rule 5 draft, non-tendered Wyatt Mills, traded Luis Urias for reliever Isaiah Campbell, and hired pitching coach Andrew Bailey.
