The big offseason acquisition you’ve been waiting for is here! That’s right, the Red Sox have... hired a bullpen coach (womp womp). Maine native Chris Holt, who spent the last five years with the Baltimore Orioles, will return to New England next summer and assume the on-field post. Is this a good move? Bad move? Neutral? Look: among the duties of a bullpen coach is “don’t let the guys order pizzas to the bullpen in the sixth inning,” so anyone who claims to have an opinion on this hiring is nuts.

However.
