The Red Sox aren’t looking far to find their next manager.
Boston is planning to make bench coach Ron Roenicke the team’s next manager once the MLB’s investigation concludes, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
In Roenicke, the Red Sox are getting someone who has years of coaching experience. The 63-year-old has spent the last 28 seasons coaching baseball in either the minor leagues or the major league.
Roenicke is replacing Alex Cora, who was fired last month for his role in the Astros cheating scandal.
Here are four things to know about the expected 48th manager in Red Sox history.
