The Red Sox reportedly fired six coaches, according to the Boston Globe. It is not known whether the decision was made by ownership, the front office, manager Alex Cora, or some combination of those folks.
Though none of the marquee names were affected, the Red Sox still plundered some of their longest-tenured coaches. Gone are first-base coach Andy Fox, bullpen coach Kyle Walker, assistant hitting coach Luis Ortiz, mental skills coach Rey Fuentes, trainer Ben Chadwick, and bullpen catcher Mani Martinez.
Martinez joined the Boston organization in 2005 and had been in his bullpen catcher role for more than 10 years. Fox joined the organization in 2011, though he only got one year as first-base coach. The rest were all hired within the last five years.
