The Red Sox announced Sunday that Ron Roenicke will not return as the club's manager next season.
Roenicke was hired as the Red Sox' bench coach in Nov. 2017. In February, he was named the team's interim manager and in April, Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom removed Roenicke's interim tag.
Roenicke, however, was only under contract for the 2020 season.
“Throughout this difficult season, Ron’s consistency and professionalism kept the environment in our clubhouse productive and gave all of our players room to grow and develop,” Bloom said in a statement.
