The Boston Red Sox have overhauled most of their coaching staff, with two more coaches reportedly let go after the team’s playoff exit. The changes affect the staff led by manager Chad Tracy and follow a season marked by major upheaval. Alex Cora was fired after the Red Sox got off to a 10-and-17 start, and the organization has since made broad adjustments to its coaches. The latest departures bring the reported changes to two coaches, though the team’s staff overhaul has been described as involving most of the group. The moves come after an exit from the playoffs characterized as ugly, adding to a difficult stretch for the club. Together, Cora’s firing, the slow start and the postseason result have been followed by significant turnover among Boston’s coaches.
