It\u2019s possible that\u2019ll be the only change to Alex Cora\u2019s staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div>\n<p>Rob Bradford of WEEI reported over the weekend that bench coach Ram\u00f3n V\u00e1zquez, hitting coach Peter Fatse, pitching coach Andrew Bailey, bullpen coach Chris Holt, and base coaches Jos\u00e9 David Flores and Kyle Hudson would all be back. Cotillo reports that the same is true for assistant hitting coach Dillon Lawson, catching instructor Parker Guinn and game planning\/run prevention coach Jason Varitek \u2014 assuming none of that group leave to pursue better opportunities with another club.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenthal joined the Sox over the 2021-22 offseason. A former minor league player, Rosenthal had coached in college and in the Astros\u2019 farm system before joining Boston\u2019s MLB staff. For his first three seasons, Rosenthal worked alongside Luis Ortiz as an assistant hitting coach under Fatse. The Red Sox parted ways with Ortiz and added Lawson onto the MLB staff last season. It stands to reason they\u2019ll now look for a new assistant hitting coach to split duties with Lawson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox are making at least one change to Alex Cora&#8217;s coaching staff.
