Just a few weeks after the Red Sox hired former relief pitcher and 2013 World Series champion Craig Breslow as their new head of baseball operations, Boston is reportedly adding another ex-bullpen arm to Alex Cora’s coaching staff.
According to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, the Red Sox are close to hiring Andrew Bailey as the team’s next pitching coach. Alex Speier of The Boston Globe later confirmed that Boston is nearing an agreement with the 39-year-old Bailey, who spent the last four years as the Giants’ pitching coach.

Bailey, who pitched for the Red Sox in 2012 and 2013, is expected to take over for Dave Bush — who was fired as Boston’s pitching coach shortly after the end of the 2023 regular season.
