Former Red Sox bullpen coach Gary Tuck retires

Share

Gary Tuck, the Red Sox' bullpen coach and catching instructor since 2006, has chosen to retire, reports CSNNE's Jessica Moran.

Tuck served with new manager John Farrell on Terry Francona's coaching staff from 2007-10, and had been recruited by Farrell to join him in Toronto when Farrell was named Blue Jays manager in 2011. He had agreed to remain with the Sox after Farrell's hiring in October, which made the timing of his resignation -- exactly two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to Fort Myers -- curious.

Tuck would have been the only member of Bobby Valentine's 2012 coaching staff to come back this season.

WEEI's Rob Bradford was first to report Tuck's departure from the team.
