    From The Athletic on Thursday: Craig Breslow sounds a lot like Chaim Bloom; Why did Red Sox fire one, hire the other? https://theathletic.com/5025869/2023/11/02/craig-breslow-chaim-bloom-red-sox-differences/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983 Subscription required but ...

    The five MLB teams on the West Coast have the best baseball weather. During the baseball season even Seattle averages less than half the precipitation of Boston or New York ... without the humidity.

    Texas lefthander Andrew Heaney reportedly chose the Rangers over the Red Sox last offseason: MLB Trade Rumors speculates that the Red Sox could pursue Heaney again this winter if the southpaw opts out of his Texas contract. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/al-notes-red-sox-heaney-twins.html

    The source probably has a name but was unidentified or anonymous. An old newspaper editor was a stickler on that point.

    I remember my junior high science teacher letting me listen to the 1969 World Series in class on the radio with my earplug. The game had been over a few minutes when the teacher unplugged the ear device, unleashing "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies from a different radio station. BTW that teacher's son is a VP with the Chicago White Sox, where he has worked for 32 years.

    At next July's MLB draft the Seattle Mariners face the indignity of drafting after the National League champions for the third year in a row. But who better to suffer an indignity?

    On April 8, 2000, Chris Young and the eventual Ivy League champion Princeton Tigers shut out Craig Breslow's last-place Yale Bulldogs: Chris Young (So., Dallas, Texas) tied a career high with 10 strikeouts in a one-hit shutout of Yale. He held the Bulldogs hitless for 5.2 innings. https://goprincetontigers.com/news/2000/4/10/670734?path=general Breslow was a sophomore closer for Yale that season: https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/21437/

    Did Craig Breslow ever pitch against Texas Ranger VP and general manager Chris Young when Breslow was at Yale and Young at Princeton? The former Ivy Leaguers, born 15 months apart, have returned to their geographical roots as MLB executives.
