Sources: the Red Sox notified 9 baseball ops employees today that they wouldn't be renewed: 4 in pro scouting, 3 in player development, and 2 in amateur scouting.
This is pretty normal turnover under a new GM when contracts expire, with some restructuring planned in these depts.
4pm start time for double header is wild. Going to be 9 innings? In MiLB they do 7 inning double headers that start later.
Actually saw a triple header in PAW once.

Burks was a FA after 1992. He signed with the ChiSox that offseason. He then signed with the Rockies the following season.
Jody Reed AND Eric Wedge were both taken in the expansion draft.
