The Red Sox told Tim Bogar he will not be retained. Here’s how Dustin Pedroia describes the coach (emphasis added):

“To me, Bogey was that calming voice that was always thinking baseball,” Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia told ESPNBoston.com on Wednesday. “He was trying to put us in the best situation to succeed, whether that was baserunning, defensive positioning or just mentioning to calm down at the plate. And his timing was always right on. He’s a very smart, no-nonsense guy, which you appreciate.”

That seems to describe the perfect guy to manage a team.
