Manny Ramirez last appeared in an MLB game in 2011. But the former Red Sox great and two-time World Series champion is reportedly seeking a return to pro baseball - this time as a coach. According to Jon Heyman of The New York Post, Ramirez "is getting word out to all 30 teams he'd love to serve as an MLB hitting coach."
Jason Varitek has filled various roles for the Red Sox since he hung up his catching gear after the 2011 season. For the past five years, he has held a full-time role on Boston's coaching staff. Initially, the team's game planning coordinator, he later added catching coach to his duties. When the Red Sox hired Parker Guinn last offseason, Varitek's title changed to game planning and run prevention coach for the 2025 campaign.
