Craig Breslow, chief baseball officer for the Boston Red Sox, received a contract extension through 2030 after the team clinched a postseason spot on September 20, 2026. Breslow faced criticism earlier in the season for firing manager Alex Cora, but a turnaround led by interim manager Chad Tracy has changed perceptions. The Red Sox went on a 32-5 run starting June 25, prompting the team to name Tracy as the full-time manager shortly after securing playoff contention. Breslow emphasized the need for decisive action to support the players and credited them for their response to the management changes.
