MESA Ariz. – Left-hander Ryan Borucki and his 2018 Buffalo Bisons teammates knew then that Craig Breslow would end up in some team’s front office.
“He was always known as the smartest man on our team, by far,” Borucki told the Sun-Times. “I think he still can do crossword puzzles in like five minutes. He always was somebody that young guys like myself when I was in Triple-A would go and talk to.”
Breslow, now a Cubs assistant general manager and the senior vice president of pitching, was in the final year of his playing career and trying to extend it as long as possible.
