It has been a year full of coaching staff changes for the Boston Red Sox. After firing Alex Cora, the third-winningest manager in franchise history, and six members of his major league coaching staff in April, the team scrambled to rebuild its staff, naming then-Triple-A manager Chad Tracy interim manager. Beyond Tracy, the team elevated several minor-league staff members to major-league roles in the interim, including Double-A manager Chad Epperson and minor-league defensive coordinator Pablo Cabrera, who became interim third-base coach and interim first-base coach, respectively.
