With Alex Cora officially with the Red Sox now that he’s completed his run to a championship with the Astros, the next step for he and Dave Dombrowski is to put together his new coaching staff. They started that process on Thursday, hiring a new bench coach and new base coaches. Guerin Austin of NESN has the details.
We’ll start with the bench coach, since that is the most significant hiring on the staff so far, after Cora obviously. Ron Roenicke may be a familiar name to you, and if he is it’s because he has been a major-league manager before.
