Per Pete Abraham, Kyle Hudson will be the 3B coach and Andy Fox will be the 1B coach. Our SoxNation-Wide Nightmare is over!

Wow, he’s Driveline’s founder. A lot of the brightest minds in pitching are coming to Boston this winter.

they haven't done much on the trade or free agent front but they sure have beefed up the coaching and advisory side. they are going all out in improving the pitching throughout the minors as well as the majors.

Hell yeah, I knew Kyle when he was a professional gambler just starting out with the idea of Driveline. Extremely happy as a Red Sox fan to have him on board. He's super competitive about just getting the right answer to things. Also a very driven, hard working person.

I may have asked this in this thread already, I've certainly asked it in my mind, but have other teams been poaching Driveline as well? I know they've gained a lot of publicity in the past couple years, but it seems like the Red Sox have invested in that philosophy pretty disproportionately. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's just crazy to see such an established pipeline.

Its collusion..the Red Sox are going to end up with 5 aces on the staff without making any moves.

In the best way, this feels like when Theo brought on Bill James.

If they weren’t gonna invest in great players on the market then I appreciate them investing in development infrastructure to create great players

I wonder how much impact there might be on a free agent professional athlete if you can add to your pitch, “Your a fantastic player. We want you to come to Boston and play. We want to win championships with you and we have the staff here to make you even better than you are.”
I’d guess that has some appeal. I’m sure every team offfering a FA contract says something similar, but if you actually have guys like Boddy on your payroll that has to matter at least a little. This is a great addition.

I think we've already seen that play out with Giolito. He referenced Breslow's vision as a reason for signing with Boston - which stuck out to me, since, as you said, usually that entails "we envision putting a good team on the field with you." You'd have to think the Boddy thing was in already in the works, if not unofficially agreed upon, and Breslow was able to point to specific analytic-driven things that would be of benefit for Giolito.
