The Red Sox are adding former big leaguer Shelley Duncan to their major league coaching staff, Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam of MassLive.com report. As with Boston’s previously agreed-upon hiring of Jason Bell (who’d been with the Astros), a specific title has yet to be settled upon.
Duncan, 47, played in parts of seven big league seasons from 2007-13, totaling 330 games and 997 plate appearances as a first baseman and corner outfielder. He’s had a long coaching career in the more than decade that has passed since he called it quits as a player.
The Diamondbacks hired Duncan as a manager in the low levels of their system back in 2015.
