Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Monday he welcomes player feedback on his communication approach, one day after facing sharp internal criticism over how he handled the surprise dismissal of manager Alex Cora and five members of his coaching staff.

Veteran shortstop Trevor Story called Breslow's Sunday morning explanation to the team "unsatisfactory." Reliever Garrett Whitlock added that Breslow did not allow players to ask questions during that session.

"I encourage players to give me feedback about that," Breslow told reporters Monday, according to MassLive. "And so as I talk to guys, if they are comfortable sharing how information can better be delivered, I want to listen. I want to take that into consideration."

Breslow confirmed he has since spoken individually with several players, including Story, who had publicly questioned "the true direction of the franchise" following Sunday's meeting.

"Trevor and I had a conversation," Breslow said. "Trevor obviously is a very important part of this team. He's also a leader on this team, and he's incredibly well respected in the clubhouse and by the staff and by me."

Story indicated the two resolved their differences ahead of Monday's series opener in Toronto against the Blue Jays.

"It's part of the process," Story told NESN. "Having these tough conversations. Whether you agree or disagree, I think at the end of the day, we agree that we want the Red Sox to win."

Boston defeated the Blue Jays 5-0 on Monday, moving to 2-0 since Cora's firing.
