Watching the Red Sox is one of the most harmful things you can do to yourself.

When the Red Sox have me agreeing with Dan Shaughnessy, you know something has gone horrendously wrong. Horrifying times.
Red Sox score one run again. Lose again. Everyday lineup is one of the worst in franchise history. Fans deserve so much better.

New statement from Scott Pelley:   There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.   The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.   “60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.   The waste is heartbreaking.   Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.   For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.   At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.   I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.   Scott Pelley

If I’m the Red Sox, I start to wonder if getting a head start on 2027 is the way. Hand it over to Romero (Theo too?) for the Deadline. Figure out who to turn to next ASAP, get the coaching staff set & hit the ground running into the offseason no matter what happens with CBA.

The Red Sox are last in Major League Baseball in runs scored since firing their coaching staff. Just in case you were wondering if that was something that was going to help the poor roster construction situation.

Just get Breslow out now. Rip the bandaid off
The Red Sox are looking for a right-handed hitter, but as rival execs note, it's a really tough fix to make it on the fly. There are very few options available for a legit RH hitter this early unless you are willing to overpay, and assuming it's a 2B or 3B, then the FO will have to wave the white flag to some degree with Durbin, who was such an important part of the FO vision.

Good. See ya. Start selling pieces. Just don’t know if you want Craig to be the guy to do it.
The San Diego Padres have their eye on Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman as they look for more bullpen help ahead of the trade deadline, according to @BNightengale.

So Jaxson Dart gets to publicly express his political beliefs, but Abdul Carter doesn’t? If this is about locker room sanctity and leadership, is it a good idea for the face of the franchise to attend a political rally for a president that is considered to be hugely divisive?
The locker room is a sacred place because it brings together everyone from all walks of life and beliefs for one common goal. Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work.

The Red Sox are scoring half a run per game less since firing Cora and other coaches. 3.90 RPG before 3.38 RPG since Can't fire the owners, but Craig Breslow needs to be fired. He's the architect behind this bad offense. Clean house. I'm tired of this crap.

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

Wow, Sox clearing house. Fire Breslow while you're at it.
The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN. While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

I think the worst part about the start of this season is not just that the Red Sox are bad, but it’s that I’ve got nothing for the folks who are trashing them. I’ve usually got something to combat that. I don’t have anything for what’s going on this year. Very depressing.
