Longtime Angels shortstop and subsequent coach Gary DiSarcina left the organization for the Boston Red Sox on Friday. He’ll serve as the bench coach in Boston, replacing Torey Lovullo, who left last week to be the Arizona Diamondbacks’ manager.
DiSarcina played for the Angels from 1989-2000. The Massachusetts native later appeared for Boston’s Triple-A affiliate in 2002, then worked in a variety of roles in and around the Red Sox organization. In 2011, he returned to Anaheim to work as an assistant to the GM and a coordinator of minor league player instruction.
