Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow reportedly fired a longtime team employee after an insulting f-bomb at the end of a Zoom call.

In a lengthy report on Yahoo Sports, reporter Joon Lee provided details on what he called “discontent” in the Red Sox front office under Breslow. Lee reported that the “collaborative spirit” of in Boston has dwindled since Breslow brought in sports consulting firm to audit baseball operations, which resulted in multiple firings.

According to Lee, things boiled over when former scouting supervisor Carl Moesche uttered a sarcastic remark featuring an f-bomb after a Zoom call.

“Thanks, Bres, you (expletive) stiff,” Moesche reportedly said, thinking the call had ended.

It had not.

According to Lee, “the words landed like a grenade, and Breslow fired Moesche.

Moesche had been with the Red Sox since 2017 and was one of a number of execs and scouts removed in the past calendar year.

In 2024, Breslow hired a company called Sportsology to conduct an audit on the Red Sox. What followed was a string of firings and departures of longtime Boston employees.

The move was shocking to longtime prospect guru Keith Law, who called it a “midnight massacre.”

Breslow and Red Sox leadership have come under additional scrutiny following the team’s shocking decision to trade star slugger Rafael Devers.

Following months of rumored tension, the team parted ways with its longtime slugger, dealing him to the San Francisco Giants.
