“We’ve got a lot of confidence in Erasmo”, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. But this is where he, his wife Nicole and four boys wanted to be.

The Boston Red Sox have a complicated decision to make with John Farrell and Torey Lovullo.
“He’s a real good baseball man”, Dombrowski said. Tampa Bay is fourth in the AL East, 2 1-2 games ahead of Boston. “It’s pretty cool”, Longoria said. He’s a local guy and I think he’s going to be a great asset to Dave.
Epstein hired Hazen, a Massachusetts native, as the Red Sox’ director of player development in 2006. Forsythe quickly followed it up with a single, and Asdrubal Cabrera and Steven Souza Jr. took back-to-back pitches to the Monster in left.
Kevin Kiermaier also hit a solo homer for the Rays, who have won five of their last seven games. He didn’t issue a walk.
The Rays have seen David Ortiz hit plenty of home runs, his two-run blast in the first inning Thursday the 49th against them of his 502. And we feel like we can win some of those games. “And hopefully we can play the bad boy part of that”.
Hazen grew up as a die-hard Red Sox fan in a small town on the southeast of Boston and has been with the team for exactly a decade.
Longoria’s homer was his 20th, giving him seven seasons with at least that many.
Ramirez is 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA over 158 innings in 33 games.
When Dave Dombrowski was hired as Red Sox president of baseball operations just over a month ago, the ball started rolling for Wren to join the front office in some capacity as the two had worked together for 11 years between the Expos and Marlins in the early 1990s.
Wren has been around the game a long time, as he has over 30 years of experience working in the front office of baseball organizations.
Red Sox LF Hanley Ramirez (right shoulder inflammation) was shut down for the rest of the season, but the team still plans to move him to first base in 2016.
With a large turnover in managers throughout the Major League Baseball this season, rumors suggest Lovullo will be a candidate for a number of vacancies, which puts the Red Sox in a tough position. Boston 3B Pablo Sandoval was diagnosed with pneumonia and will be re-evaluated Saturday. Originally, the club said he had an upper respiratory infection. LHP Jake McGee should be available out of the bullpen starting tonight after coming in feeling good after Wednesday’s final test of his surgically repaired left knee.
