The next Red Sox manager won’t come from the Rays organization.
It was assumed that Chaim Bloom’s search for the next Boston Red Sox manager would include candidates from the Tampa Bay Rays considering his familiarity with the organization. It turns out that the reason nobody from their staff has an interview lined up isn’t because they are currently busy coaching in the World Series.
According to Sean McAdam of the Boston Sports Journal, Bloom has an agreement with his former employer that prohibits him from hiring anyone from the Rays organization for a period of two years.
