Red Sox management faces scrutiny as trade deadline approaches

Following increasing pressure from ownership, Boston Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow may be under scrutiny as the trade deadline nears. Reports indicate that ownership is seeking a right-handed bat independently, signaling dissatisfaction with Breslow's recent decision-making. The Red Sox have faced controversy over significant trades and free agency losses under Breslow's leadership. His firing of manager Alex Cora has also raised questions about his approach. With potential replacement Theo Epstein in the frame, Breslow's efforts in the coming days may determine his future with the team.
