Boston, MA - Aug. 4 - An orange glow fills the sky caused by smoke in the atmosphere as the sun sets behind Fenway Park.

Overview

  • Alex Speier of the Boston Globe first reported that Devin Pearson is expected to leave Boston to become an assistant general manager in Washington.
  • Pearson has led the Red Sox’s last three drafts since 2023, with notable selections including Kyle Teel, Connelly Early and Payton Tolle.
  • The move follows late-September reporting that former Red Sox assistant GM Paul Toboni was hired as the Nationals’ president of baseball operations.
  • Pearson and Toboni have a long relationship that traces to their time as Cal teammates, and Pearson previously reported to Toboni in Boston.
  • No formal announcement has detailed Washington’s front-office structure, and separate reporting indicates further Red Sox staff changes with Ramon Vazquez set to interview with the Twins and assistant hitting coach Ben Rosenthal expected to depart as most of Alex Cora’s staff returns.
