Building a career can take decades. Losing a job can happen in seconds.
According to a recent report from Yahoo! Sports’ Joon Lee, the Red Sox fired scouting supervisor Carl Moesche over a comment he made near the end of a Zoom meeting.
Moesche thought the call was over, but the meeting hadn’t quite wrapped before he uttered a few words of frustration aimed at Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow.
“Thanks, Bres, you f***ing stiff,” Moesche said, according to the report.
The words, Lee said, hit like a “grenade” and led Breslow to fire Mosche.
