"Craig Breslow is losing another member of his front office. Devin Pearson, the Red Sox director of amateur scouting since 2023, will be following Paul Toboni to the Washington Nationals. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe) As director of amateur scouting, Pearson was heavily involved in the draft and building up the farm system. That work obviously paid off, as the big league team saw more exciting rookie debuts this year than any season in recent memory."
"Which is why it would be a major blow to lose Alex Bregman's bat. So with the recent news that he's likely to opt-out, what would it take to re-sign him? Bregman spoke about that earlier this summer, indicating that he's looking for a place to settle down for the rest of his career. That may not bode well for the Sox, given their reluctance to give out long-term deals to aging players. (Chris Cotillo, MassLive)"
Devin Pearson, the Red Sox director of amateur scouting since 2023, will follow Paul Toboni to the Washington Nationals. Pearson helped oversee the draft and build the farm system, which contributed to a strong slate of rookie debuts this season. Craig Breslow will focus on improving the big league roster, prioritizing more power and pitching. Home runs proved vital in the postseason, and the Red Sox hit only one in the Wild Card Series loss. Alex Bregman is likely to opt out, making re-signing him a priority but complicated by reluctance to offer long-term deals. Jason Varitek's contract remains unrenewed amid managerial interest, and Lucas Giolito could depart in 2025 as the only player subject to a qualifying offer.
