Quick Summary

The Boston Red Sox have restructured their coaching staff, reassigned third base coach Chad Epperson and first base coach Pablo Cabrera to minor league positions for the upcoming season, according to MassLive.com. The decision follows criticism of Epperson's performance, particularly after several baserunners were thrown out at home plate this year. This move comes shortly after last April’s significant changes that included firing manager Alex Cora and other staff members. With these adjustments, Red Sox manager Chad Tracy faces at least two open coaching positions as the team continues to address its performance issues following a disappointing playoff exit in 2026.

Story summary

The Red Sox have made another round of coaching staff changes, reassigning third base coach Chad Epperson to manage the Triple-A Worcester team in 2027 and first base coach Pablo Cabrera back to his previous role as minor league defensive coordinator. These moves follow a major overhaul last April when the organization fired manager Alex Cora and four other coaches due to poor performance during the playoffs. Epperson faced criticism this season for multiple baserunners being thrown out at home plate, including a stretch in May where four runners were caught over six games. The Red Sox now have two vacancies on manager Chad Tracy’s coaching staff as they head into the 2027 season without announcing replacements yet.
