The Boston Red Sox continued rebuilding their coaching staff on the second day under interim manager Chad Tracy following the dismissal of manager Alex Cora and six members of his coaching staff. The team made several key internal promotions and adjustments to stabilize the dugout. José David Flores shifted from first base coach to bench coach, a role he previously held under Tracy at Triple-A Worcester. Flores will also continue working with infielders and serve as Tracy’s right-hand man in the dugout alongside pitching coach Andrew Bailey. Pablo Cabrera, 28, was promoted from minor league defensive coordinator to first base coach and outfield instructor. Jack Simonetty, 26, joined as a hitting assistant to support lead hitting coach John Soteropulos and interim hitting coach Collin Hetzler. Steve Langone returned to advance scouting duties, while Drew Ehrhard transitioned from player to bullpen catcher. Catching instructor Parker Guinn moved into the dugout to handle catchers and PitchCom responsibilities. Nelson Paulino will join the major league hitting group, adding Spanish-speaking support with nearly three decades in the organization. Tracy emphasized building a cohesive staff quickly after an initial day of divided duties. The changes come as the Red Sox seek stability amid a challenging season start. Tracy also indicated more playing opportunities for young infielder Marcelo Mayer against left-handed pitchers and flexibility with Roman Anthony’s batting position, particularly when runners are on base. Overall, the moves reflect a focus on familiarity, internal development, and rapid stabilization of the coaching unit after the major shakeup.
