The Red Sox front office report on a playoff Tuesday is brought to you by Shaws and Star Market,

perfecting the art of fresh and by findmasmoney.gov.

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

Hi, Craig.

Hey, good morning. How are you doing? To borrow a term that the European writers used a lot

during the Rider Cup, are you in hostile territory already?

I am, yes. Okay. How's the mood down there?

Good.

You know, I think this is what guys played all season long for,

and you try to balance how excited you can be,

how anxious you can be with understanding that this is another game, and you try to keep things as normal as possible.

I don't know what you can and can't say, but how is the health of Alex

Bregman?

Yeah, no, I can say good.

You know, outside of probably guys joking around and keeping extra distance from him yesterday,

he was at the workout, moving around really well, feels good, so don't anticipate any issues there.

What about can you get into Lucas Gialito if you guys are to advance?

I think we're still at the point of getting information.

He saw Dr. Dugas yesterday yesterday who is familiar with him and had done

his surgery last year. So he's connecting with our medical staff and we'll figure out exactly

what it looks like. But I think at this point, you just feel really badly for Lucas, just given

how hard he's worked to get himself
