Brian Bannister, the Red Sox director and then vice president of pitching development since 2015 and an assistant pitching coach on the big league staff from 2016-19, is leaving the team to join the San Francisco Giants front office.
Bannister confirmed his departure — first reported by Jon Morosi of MLB.com — via Twitter.
“It was a dream to call Fenway my office, and to be a very small part of a historic run in Boston,’’ Bannister wrote on Twitter.
