Red Sox Hire Sportsology Group To Audit The Organization

When Craig Breslow was hired by the Red Sox just over six months ago, he wasn’t simply charged with improving the big league team. As chief baseball officer, he oversees the entire baseball operations department – hundreds of front-office members who are responsible not just for short-term results but the long-term health of the team, everything from player development and the draft to analysts and members of the medical and sports science departments.

With that responsibility in mind, the Sox have hired the Sportsology Group to conduct an audit of the organization and offer recommendations to Breslow about potential changes in the team’s baseball operations.

“We are using an outside consulting firm to help me wrap my arms around this operation,” said Breslow. “It’s big. It’s grown a ton in the last three or four years. And with that comes the need to understand: Who are our people? What work are they doing? Is it impacting our on-field outcomes in a meaningful way? Do we have inefficiency and redundancy or are we operating in a really efficient and effective manner?
