Since the Boston Red Sox's elimination from the playoffs in its first week, multiple members of their coaching and front office staff have departed for new positions around MLB.
The most notable among them has been former assistant general manager Paul Toboni, whom the Red Sox planned to promote to GM had he stuck around. Toboni accepted a position as the Washington Nationals' president of baseball operations after their previous leader was fired in the middle of the 2025 season.
Former Red Sox director of pitching Justin Willard has also departed the organization for the New York Mets, Chris Hess, the former hitting coach for Double-A Portland, is leaving to become assistant hitting coach for the Miami Marlins, and the Nats are interviewing Sea Dogs manager Chad Epperson for their managerial vacancy, per Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post.
