Latest reports are...that Craig Breslow is the front runner.

Heard that this afternoon as well.   If I remember right Breslow is one super smart guy.  Went to a IVY league college. A place most all of us wouldn't even get admitted to.  On the field experience with world class brains seems like he might be a great hire.     

That said  , there's loads of pressure there with fan/owner expectations with a little help coming up thru the monor leagues.

 

Looked it up......YALE with molecular biophysics and biochemistry.    Good lord I'm not even smart enough to type those studies correctly.

I had heard that when he was done playing baseball he was thinking he’d go to med school. Guess he didn’t do that, but yeah. One smart guy.

He was a featured guest at a SABR Boston chapter meeting I attended a few years ago.  I don't remember any specifics, but he was more polished than the typical player panel guest and it was entirely believable that there is good intellect behind the polish.  He probably checks off most if not all the boxes, including having Red Sox roots, to have a chance for success in the eyes of ownership.  Whatever he lacks due to youth can be filled in with good hires below him.
