This is the time of year where old friends of the Boston Red Sox surface elsewhere. Some may be former coaches such as Arnie Beyler – dismissed by the Red Sox – and now hired on as a manager of the Miami Marlins Triple-A affiliate. Players also move about on the baseball chess board such as Alejandro De Aza signing with the Mets and Allen Webster who now (hopefully) toils on the mound for the Samsung Lions in Korea.
Many others drift about attempting to latch on to baseball employment somewhere and one of note recently popped up – Alex Hassan signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
