Early on Thursday we learned that Carl Willis had accepted a job with the Indians to join Terry Francona and become Cleveland’s new pitching coach. Apparently, that was not the only coaching news for Boston on the day. Joining Willis on their way out the door are Brian Butterfield and Chili Davis, the Red Sox’ third base coach (and infield instructor) and their hitting coach. Both are headed to the Cubs and both will stay in their same positions.
#Cubs today named Chili Davis as hitting coach and Brian Butterfield third base coach.
