Red Sox Leadership Backs Cora Amid 2025 Struggles

The Boston Red Sox are struggling in the 2025 season, falling below .500 despite high expectations after acquiring Garrett Crochet and Alex Bregman in the offseason. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has reiterated his strong support for manager Alex Cora, who is under contract through 2027, amid increased fan frustration and scrutiny of leadership decisions, including the early extension for rookie Kristian Campbell and his subsequent struggles. Breslow emphasized that solutions must come from within the team, though he acknowledged the need to question all aspects of their current approach. Trade rumors have surfaced involving outfielder Jarren Duran and reliever Aroldis Chapman, raising the possibility of the Red Sox becoming sellers if playoff hopes diminish. Fan dissatisfaction has grown due to perceived lack of transparency and inconsistent lineup choices, especially concerning Campbell. Despite the turmoil, team leadership remains united behind Cora as the team continues to battle injuries and underperformance.
