Tim Hyers declines offer to return to Red Sox

Last week, the Red Sox had announced they are parting ways with first base coach Tom Goodwin, but otherwise were hoping to keep the rest of their coaching staff together. It does not appear that is going to be the case. On Monday, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reported Tim Hyers has declined an offer to return to the team next season to explore new opportunities. Speier mentions he could potentially go to the college ranks, though doesn’t rule out a major-league role as well. Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports assistant hitting coach Peter Fatse will be promoted to replace Hyers.
