Red Sox president says team performance embarrassing but baseball operations chief stays

Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy said the team's performance this season has been embarrassing and unacceptable. Kennedy made the comments in a Thursday interview on WEEI. He added that the organization has not considered removing Craig Breslow from his role as chief baseball officer.

The Red Sox entered Thursday with a 27-39 record, last in their division and 5.5 games out of the final playoff spot.

Season outlook Kennedy said the club set a goal of building on its playoff appearance from the previous season. He described the current results as frustrating and said improvement is required. Kennedy also said Breslow is working to correct the situation. He stated that questions about Breslow's job security are understood but that a change is not under discussion.

Roster plans Kennedy said the team is reviewing every area of the roster and player personnel. He added that if results do not improve in the next couple of weeks, the club may shift from its earlier plans and become sellers ahead of the August deadline.
