On Nov. 13, Walker&#8217;s replacement was announced.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"inline-text\">The Red Sox have hired former Orioles director of pitching and pitching coach Chris Holt to be their new bullpen coach, first reported by Roch Kubatko of MASN. Holt has received a formal offer from the Red Sox organization and his hiring is expected to be made official sometime in the week of Nov. 17.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"inline-text\">Holt moved to Baltimore from the Astros organization\u00a0alongside general manager Mike Elias before the 2019 season. He served two seasons as the Orioles organization&#8217;s minor league pitching coordinator before he was promoted to major league pitching coach for the 2021 campaign.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"inline-text\">Red Sox hire former Orioles pitching coach\/director of pitching Chris Holt as bullpen coach<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"twitter\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1856737373515624908&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fbosoxinjection.com%2Fred-sox-steal-division-rival-pitching-coach-to-join-alex-coras-staff&amp;sessionId=94ffabb2f589457f6df9a17f26f820cc3960f623&amp;siteScreenName=bosoxinjection&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1856737373515624908\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"inline-text\">Multiple quality hurlers have emerged from Baltimore&#8217;s bullpen during Holt&#8217;s tenure with the club, including Yennier Cano, F\u00e9lix Bautista, Cionel P\u00e9rez and Albert Su\u00e1rez. One of Craig Breslow&#8217;s main goals as Red Sox chief baseball officer is to overhaul the organization&#8217;s pitching development program, and Holt&#8217;s track record suggests he&#8217;ll be a solid addition to Boston&#8217;s coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"inline-text\">Holt will work alongside pitching coach Andrew Bailey, director of pitching Justin Willard and game-planning coordinator Jason Varitek to continue to revamp the Red Sox&#8217;s pitcher development. Bailey and Willard made great strides in 2024, and Holt,\u00a0who has been described as a &#8220;pitching guru,&#8221;\u00a0should help the Sox\u00a0avoid another second-half bullpen disaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><main class=\"body\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"viewablity-block\"><\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 12, 2023;
