Red Sox Sign Craig Breslow To One-Year Deal, Designate Catcher Dan Butler

Craig Breslow Signing Will Require Roster Move
Breslow—(FenwayNation Photo)Assuming that lefty reliever Craig Breslow passes his physical on Monday, the Red Sox will have to free up a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate his signing. According to WEEI.com's Rob Bradford, the most cuttable suspects are: pitcher Drake Britton or catcher Dan Butler. Britton is out of options, so he would likely be the choice—but a trade...

Craig Breslow Returns To Sox On 1-YR Deal
(FenwayNation Photo)At least the Red Sox clubhouse will be a little smarter now. Yale grad Craig Breslow re-signed with Boston yesterday on a one-year, $2 million deal.

Craig Breslow’s market could start to develop now that fellow left-handed reliever Andrew Miller is off the board.
Breslow is coming off a disappointing season with the Boston Red Sox, but the veteran southpaw has a track record of major league success. That success apparently was enough to catch the New York Mets’ attention...
Citi Field is Not for Craig Breslow
As the Winter Meetings approach, we know that the Mets are interested in left-handed smart guy, Craig Breslow. The Yale alum pitched to a staggering 5.96 ERA in Boston last season over 54.1 innings of relief work. Of course, this followed a much more impressive campaign in 2013 when his ERA was a microscopic 1.81 on the season.
