Some Boston Red Sox fans may have crossed the line while targeting team executives online. Over the weekend, the Boston Red Sox made the stunning move of trading their best hitter, Rafael Devers, to the San Francisco Giants after a falling out between team execs and the star player.
After the trade, Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow attempted to explain the trade to the media.
“This isn’t about the game that is played on paper,” said Breslow. “This is about the game that is played on the field and ultimately about winning the most games that we can. And in order to do that, trying to put together the most functional and complete team that we can.
:So I think that when you consider the flexibility, the ability to give some of the young players some run, the opportunity to maybe repackage some of the resources and fill some voids in the roster as early as approaching this year’s deadline and being really intentional about the environment that we create for these young players to thrive in, I do think there’s a real chance that at the end of the season, we’re looking back and we’ve won more games than we otherwise would’ve.”
Angry Red Sox fans reacted to Breslow’s comments by doxxing him on social media, which has come to the police’s attention.

Boston Red Sox exec Craig Breslow has been on the receiving end of a ton of backlash after trading away star player Rafael Devers … to the point where his home address was published online — and now cops are aware of the situation.
Newton Police tell TMZ Sports … after Devers was dealt to San Francisco, the department was “notified by representatives from the Boston Red Sox Organization that some members of the Red Sox have been victims of doxing on social media due to a recent trade.”
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox traded Devers due to the star’s unhappiness with how the team was using him on the field.
“Rafael Devers, after all that had happened with Boston this spring, the move from third base to DH, then them wanting him to play first base, did not want to be in Boston anymore. And the Red Sox saw this as an opportunity to get rid of more than $250 million that he was owed.”
