The exodus of the Boston Red Sox coaching staff continues in the wake of manager John Farrell‘s dismissal.
The Chicago Cubs announced that they have hired hitting coach Chili Davis and third base coach Brian Butterfield as new additions to their coaching staff.
Davis spent one season as hitting coach for the Red Sox. While he was well respected within the organization, the offense sputtered under his watch. A lineup that led the majors in runs scored in 2016 was expected to drop off following the retirement of David Ortiz, but few expected the decline to be this severe.
