Red Sox Shake Up Coaching Staff Amid Tough Season

On April 27th, the Boston Red Sox just shook up their coaching staff under

interim manager Chad Tracy, two days after firing Alex Korra and five.

Coaches, they announce Jose Flores stepping up from first-base coach to

interim bench coach. Pablo Cabrera moves from minor leagues to interim first-base

coach and outfield instructor. Jaxi Moneti joins as interim hitting assistant

after starting in the rookie leagues. Earlier this weekend, they promoted double-A

Portland manager Chad Epperson to interim third-base coach, replacing Kyle

Hudson. They also brought up Triple A Worcester,

hitting coach Colin Hetzler to the big league hitting staff, following the

dismissals of three-hitting coaches. Fans and analysts see this as a quick

reset amid a tough season with the team at the bottom of the standings.

These moves fill key gaps left by the firings aiming to stabilize the roster

before the trade deadline. Reports say Boston plans to name both Hetzler

and hold over John Sotero Poulos as full-hitting coaches,

though the team is not confirmed yet. Pitching coach Andrew Bailey,

bullpen coach Chris Holt, and catching coach Parker Ginn are all staying put.

With these changes locked in, the Red Sox hope for a spark as they push through

the summer stretch. That wraps Boston Red Sox news today.
