The 1995 draft pick opened his playing career with the Detroit Tigers and spent 2000 to 2002 with the Texas Rangers, before being traded to the Colorado Rockies in July 2002.<\/p>\n

Kapler was then purchased by Boston in June 2003 and recorded 13 home runs, 77 RBIs and a .270\/.321\/.391 slash line with the Red Sox across 312 games. Kapler was a member of the historic 2004 World Series champion team, appearing in a career-high 136 contests that year.<\/p>\n

After his playing career ended, the Hollywood native spent two seasons as the Philadelphia Phillies manager in 2018 and 2019 and four years in the same role with the San Francisco Giants from 2020 to 2023.<\/p>\n
