Breslow was a longtime pitcher in the majors, including five seasons with the Red Sox -- the first in 2006, and then a four-year run from 2012 to '15. A lefty reliever, he was part of Boston's title-winning team in 2013. Breslow, 43, had been serving as the Cubs' assistant general manager and vice president of pitching.
