MLB insider claims ‘teams hate dealing with Red Sox, ‘very tough’ to make trades with Craig Breslow

Coming off a lackluster 2025 MLB trade deadline in which the Red Sox made only two deals, an MLB insider is reporting that general managers find it difficult to make deals with Boston.

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale claimed Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow isn’t the easiest to work with on an episode of “Foul Territory” on Friday. Nightengale went as far as to say that clubs “hate dealing with” him and Boston.

“Teams hate dealing with the Red Sox. I guess it’s just very tough to do with [Craig] Breslow,” he said.
