Overview
- Boddy confirmed to the Boston Globe that he officially left the Red Sox about a month before the Globe report and that his work with the club had become "very part-time."
- He said the split came after he and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow concluded that other jobs he held could not be done simultaneously because of rules and regulations.
- Boddy declined to name the other roles, but his public profiles list advisory work with Major League Baseball and Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball.
- Driveline, the player-development company Boddy founded in 2008, has already shaped Boston’s approach through hires and methods, including staff like John Soteropulos, Collin Hetzler, and Devin Rose.
- The exit removes Driveline’s founder from Boston’s daily pitching work and could force the club to reassign hands-on development duties while raising broader questions about how clubs integrate outside analytics partners.
