Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy, in an interview Thursday on WEEI\u2019s \u201cThe Greg Hill Show,\u201d confirmed a Globe report that the team is not considering firing chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, Kennedy described the team\u2019s 27-39 record, last place in the American League East, as \u201cembarrassing and unacceptable, maddening, [and] frustrating,\u201d and suggested that barring a dramatic turnaround, the Sox will have to shift their trade deadline focus away from efforts to upgrade the 2026 roster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kennedy said the Sox entered 2026 with a belief that the club, coming off last year\u2019s 89-win season and first postseason appearance since 2021, could achieve its \u201cstated goal of taking that next step in October \u2026 And here we are. It\u2019s 66 games in, we\u2019ve played 40 percent of the season, and [the Sox are] 12 games under .500 and last in the AL East. That\u2019s pretty much all we need to know. It\u2019s just not acceptable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
