Weeks after being fired as manager of the Giants, Gabe Kapler has reportedly interviewed for a job with another team—but not to become a skipper again.
Kapler has interviewed with the Red Sox for the opening at the top of their baseball operations department, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier reported Friday. Boston is seeking to replace former president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, who was fired last month after the team missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
Kapler, 48, has been a field manager since 2018, spending two seasons with the Phillies and then four with the Giants. He guided San Francisco to a 107-win regular season in ’21, setting a franchise victories record, but the club was eliminated from the postseason in the NLDS by the Dodgers. That was the only time in six years that a Kapler-led team finished above .500.
