The Red Sox front office report this week brought to you by Shaw's and Star Market,

perfecting the art of fresh and by fine, mass money.gov.

And the chief baseball officer of the Boston Red Sox, Craig Breslo, joins us this morning.

Hey, Craig.

Hey, good morning. How are you doing?

Doing well. I will tell you this. And I'm sorry about it. I was out for a little while.

I am right back in. You have, this team has dragged me right back in, Craig Breslo.

I'm not sure if I should ask why you're sorry about it or what.

I mean, but we're glad to have you.

Yeah.

We're glad to have you.

Well, I mean, this is back-to-back series wins, and you are day off today and

Yankees are back again here at Fenway this weekend.

So I understand it's a long season, but how important at this point in June does it become when it comes to winning the series,

especially when you get off to a slower start?

Yeah, no, I think we've talked for a few weeks now.

We're past the, it's early stage of the season,

and this is a stretch that we had circled as pretty critical,

given we've got two of the three series against the Yankees,

and then the other sandwich.

Between those is Tampa,

who we're also trying to chase down in the division.
