You obviously did not catch my tone it is the assumption and condescension that WE assume he is a nerd that sets the tone and it goes mostly downhill from there.

Breslow has got to love the Pats' tire fire, to say nothing of the other teams in town being big deals already. He gets to come in as under the radar as possible.
It's rare but yes. Breslow has pulled it off. But with that said I do like the idea of a hybrid. A nerd who actually played in the big leagues and competed at a high level in a market like Boston. I do think there is value in that. So while I think it's fun to mock yesterday's press conference a bit because he came across as the ultimate nerd in the end that won't matter if he goes out and does a good job. Let's go.
Not everyone fell for the boring Cinderella Arizona Diamondbacks

Rangers-D-backs least-watched Fall Classic ever
Nielsen and Fox said Thursday the World Series averaged 9.11 million viewers, less than the 9.79 million average from the 2020 series.
Has been talked about on here but this is a strike against Chaim.

That’s the problem, they spend on the wrong guys. Merchandise is a factor a lot of the times. Most Sox fans have been right on their signings in the past. Werner at the the conference is a joke. He literally the problem with them.

I listened to more of the press conference and my opinion has only softened slightly. Breslow better not present like this to his peers or he will quickly earn a rep as too much trouble to engage. Do I think, he has the wherewithal to stop the corporate speak and the Jargon? Yes, but I am not entirely sure. That scares me. As Gasper pointed out on "Felger and Mazz" today, this sure seems like Bloom 2.0 or maybe just Bloom redux.
He evaded the question when asked if he would spend, he stayed in lockstep with analytics to the exclusion of all else, and sounded very tone deaf while doing it. It all seems very familiar.....and that ain't good.

I absolutely take him back. He had a tremendous year in Detroit on a bad Tiger team last year. After his issues in 2022 where he took the leave of absence and got his personal shit and mental health together, he was actually a great pitcher there. I have the impression that he liked playing under Alex and would want to come home, but that's all speculation.

They're that hard-up that they wouldn't bring back Wacha at $16 per? And they couldn't trade him to a team who wanted to pick up the option?
