Story behind Craig Breslow's journey to being the Red Sox boss
Red Sox team president Sam Kennedy said a day after the regular season ended that the search for the next Chief Baseball Officer was going to be more exhaustive the previous two occasions.
It was also evidently a bit more creative, as well.
According to multiple sources, the Red Sox' hierarchy brought in some familiar names to the interview process. David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Brock Holt, Pedro Martinez and Kevin Youkilis were all consulted during the three-week search for Chaim Bloom's replacement.
Craig Breslow, who ultimately landed the job, was seemingly a favorite of those Red Sox alumni. Each of the former players - with the exception of Martinez - played with Breslow.
The introductory press conference for Breslow is scheduled to be held at Fenway Park, Thursday morning (11).
