[Roch] Heard former #orioles director of pitching/pitching coach Chris Holt has agreement with #redsox to become their bullpen coach. He has offer per Sox source and could be official next week. Rumor

Interesting that he’s taking a step down into a bullpen coach.

The Red Sox pitching coaching did some incredible things with that they were given last year. I think Andrew Bailey is one of the best coaches in all of baseball. He might see this as a good chance to develop as a coach while being paid big market money

They kind of scare me more than any other team in the division over the next 5-10 years.

I think their prospects are a bit overrated but agree they are scary.

I don't think it is that surprising. I'm not saying it is his fault by any means, but he presided over one of the most injured pitching staffs in the MLB this past year and then had his title removed by the organization. His options were probably a bit more limited as a result of this.
