Red Sox's Craig Breslow faces pressure amid team's struggles

Craig Breslow, chief baseball officer for the Boston Red Sox, is currently under significant pressure as the team sits in last place in the American League East. The Red Sox trail the first-place New York Yankees by 13.5 games and are 5.5 games behind in the AL Wild Card standings. The team has struggled offensively, and decisions regarding roster changes loom as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches. ESPN's Buster Olney has ranked Breslow third among MLB executives under the most pressure, suggesting that his choices at the trade deadline will influence the perception of his performance.
