The Red Sox’ search for their next head of baseball operations has entered its next phase.
Last week, The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier reported that the Red Sox would begin notifying candidates if they had advanced in the hiring process. That process has begun, and the pool of candidates is beginning to shallow.
Chicago Cubs assistant general manager and former Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow has reportedly made it to the second round of the search. According to Speier, Breslow is currently seen as the frontrunner to win the job, and as of Tuesday he is the only candidate confirmed to have advanced.
