FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Add Keith Foulke to the roster of ex-Red Sox players who have rejoined the organization.
Foulke, who threw the final pitch of the 2004 World Series, is back with the Sox as a player-development consultant, the team announced Thursday. Via Twitter, the 43-year-old former closer said he will be working with relief pitchers at the minor league level.
Headed to @RedSox spring training today. So excited to start new position with the team. I will be working with the Minor League Bullpens
