The search to find the next Boston Red Sox manager has been moving along at a glacial pace but reports of the team interviewing candidates shows progress has been made.
According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland A’s coach Mark Kotsay interviewed for Boston’s managerial opening but is no longer in the running for the job. Kotsay spent parts of the 2008 and 2009 seasons with the Red Sox before his playing career ended in 2013.
He now serves as Oakland’s quality control coach and is known for excellent communication and observation skills.
