Red Sox Add Jason Bell To Coaching Staff

New manager Chad Tracy continues to fill out his first coaching staff with the Boston Red Sox.

Jason Bell, the quality control coach with the Houston Astros, has been hired by the Red Sox in an unannounced role, according to a report Wednesday by Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Bell has been with the Astros in a variety of positions over the last 10 years. He also was the first base coach for Israel in this year's World Baseball Classic.

The 36-year-old Bell has been with the Astros' major-league staff the last three seasons as a quality control coach while adding field coordinator the last two years. Prior to that, he was in similar roles in the Astros' minor leagues, including the 2018 season with the short-season Hudson Valley Renegades in the New York-Penn League, falling in the league finals.
