Red Sox Adding Shelley Duncan To Coaching Staff

Key Points:

• The Boston Red Sox are adding former MLB player Shelley Duncan to their major league coaching staff, though his specific title has not yet been finalized.
• Duncan, 47, played seven MLB seasons primarily as a first baseman and corner outfielder, and has over a decade of coaching experience, including managerial roles in the Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, White Sox, and most recently the Yankees’ Triple-A team.
• He was named the 2025 International League Manager of the Year while managing the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
• The Red Sox underwent a major coaching staff overhaul in April, firing manager Alex Cora and five staff members; interim manager Chad Tracy was later given a three-year contract after leading a team turnaround and postseason appearance.
• Several interim coaches remain on the Red Sox staff with interim titles, while others have been reassigned within the organization, including Chad Epperson moving to Triple-A manager and Pablo Cabrera returning to minor league field coordinator.
