The Boston Red Sox is at a pivotal moment in their history, with the organization removing Alex Cora, five of its assistant coaches, and Jason Varitek. This move is unprecedented in franchise history, as the Red Sox had never fired a manager in-season since 2002. The team's future is in the hands of manager Craig Breslow, who has assembled the roster, revamped the player development infrastructure, and now controls his coaching staff. Despite this, there is no debate about who is calling the shots now, with Andrew Bailey remaining as pitching coach and Jose David Flores being promoted to the big league staff after serving as Chad Tracy's bench coach.
