"The Red Sox announced that they have added three new coaches to their staff today. José David Flores is now the interim bench coach, Pablo Cabrera is the interim first base coach/outfield instructor, and Jack Simonetty has been hired as an interim hitting assistant."
"The moves are in response to the stunning Red Wedding-style massacre that occurred in Baltimore this weekend. The Sox fired manager Alex Cora as well as his hitting coach Peter Fatse, assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson, bench coach Ramón Vázquez, third base/outfield coach Kyle Hudson, and major league hitting strategist Joe Cronin."
"Flores, 55, has a decent amount of previous MLB coaching experience. He was infield coordinator for the Cubs from 2012 to 2017 and served as first base coach for the Phillies in 2018."
"Cabrera, 28, was hired by the Red Sox in 2023 to work as a coach for Double-A Portland and then worked as a defensive coach in the club's Fort Myers complex."
The Red Sox have added three interim coaches: José David Flores as bench coach, Pablo Cabrera as first base coach/outfield instructor, and Jack Simonetty as hitting assistant. These changes follow the firing of manager Alex Cora and multiple coaching staff members after a poor performance. Chad Tracy has been appointed interim manager, and other interim roles have been filled. Flores brings extensive MLB coaching experience, while Cabrera and Simonetty are new to the big league coaching staff, having previously worked in lower-level positions.
