Waaaayyy back in May, Craig Breslow asked the lazily-named consulting group, Sportsology, to conduct an audit on the baseball operations department. Well, the audit’s over and, in a move that will surprise no one who has ever met a consultant, they apparently recommended that Breslow fire a lot of people. Interestingly, this includes several longtime scouts, such as Willie Romay, who is credited with signing Triston Casas, Kutter Crawford, and Roman Anthony.
I won’t pretend to know whether any of these people were good at their jobs. The Red Sox have been mired in mediocrity for over half a decade now, which suggests that change is needed in the baseball operations department.
