""I don't think there's a question anymore that the identity of our team and the strength of our team is going to be our pitching and our ability to prevent runs," Breslow told MassLive's Chris Cotillo after Boston signed southpaw starter Ranger Suarez to a five-year, $130 million contract in January."
""I think the improvements we made on the pitching side are significant. It can be difficult at times to fully appreciate the impact of having dominant starting pitching. ... I think no matter who we're playing on any given day, we're going to feel like we've got a chance to win.""

The Boston Red Sox are prioritizing pitching improvements for the 2026 season, emphasizing their identity as a team focused on preventing runs. Despite signing Ranger Suarez to a significant contract, the team has started the season poorly with a 1-5 record, marking their worst start since 2019. Offensive struggles are evident, with a low batting average and limited runs scored. Concerns also arise regarding the team's pitching performance, which has not met expectations, leading to frustration among players.
