BOSTON -- With the goal of getting their offense back to an elite level, the Red Sox named Tim Hyers their new hitting coach and Andy Barkett as assistant coach on Saturday.
That means that pitching coach is the only opening left on new manager Alex Cora's staff.
Hyers was the assistant hitting coach for the National League champion Dodgers the last two seasons and also served as the team's director of Minor League hitting in 2017.
With Hyers helping out hitting coach Turner Ward, the Dodgers set franchise records this past season in home runs, doubles and extra-base hits.
