Plane flies above Fenway Park urging Red Sox to fire Craig Breslow, sell the team
A banner towed by a small plane above Fenway Park on Friday urged the ownership of the Boston Red Sox to sell the team.
As the Red Sox and Houston Astros took batting practice ahead of their game Friday night, the plane flew overhead with the banner reading: “FIRE CRAIG! SELL THE TEAM!”
Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and principal owner John Henry were the targets with the team sitting last in the AL East. Boston would beat Houston 3-1 on Friday, but remain eight games behind the division-leading New York Yankees with 13-19 record.
The poor start led to Breslow firing manager Alex Cora on Apil 25 with Chad Tracy taking over as interim manager.
The "sell the team" message has not just been seen in the skies; it has also been heard throughout Fenway Park this season, especially after they were swept at home last weekend by the Yankees.
Breslow, who played 12 MLB seasons and was part of the Red Sox 2013 World Series winning team, was hired by Boston after the 2023 season after four years as an executive with the Chicago Cubs. Henry, as part of Fenway Sports Group, has owned the Red Sox since 2001 and overseen the team winning four World Series titles.
The plane's banner called for the firing of Craig Breslow and the selling of the team due to the Red Sox's poor performance, sitting last in the AL East.
The banner read: 'FIRE CRAIG! SELL THE TEAM!'
The Red Sox have a 13-19 record and are currently eight games behind the division-leading New York Yankees.
