The Red Sox have had mixed results with former A's coaches of late. On the one hand, there's Terry Francona and his two World Series titles. On the other hand, there's Curt Young, who washed out in one year with the team and went right back to his old job as Oakland's pitching coach this year.
Now it seems the Red Sox are going to try dipping into the well again.
While acknowledging it's still "probable" that Mariano Rivera will return from knee surgery to pitch next season, Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York reports that the future Hall of Famer "is having second thoughts about possibly retiring."
Rivera was pretty adamant about returning at the time of the injury, saying: "I'm coming back. Put it down. Write it down in big letters.
The Boston Globe reports that Tim Bogar, the assumed lead Bobby Valentine backstabber, won't be back on Boston's coaching staff next year, the Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reports.
It's already been reported that Torey Lovullo is set to make the move from Toronto to Boston with John Farrell and take over as bench coach.
Bogar was offered Houston's bench coach job earlier this month, but he opted to stay with the Red Sox and take his chances that he'd remain in the plans for 2013.
