For the 2021 Boston Red Sox season, the field coordinator is José Zapata, and the Red Sox are fielding two teams; one managed by Ozzie Chavez and the other managed by Sandy Madera. [2]

History

The Red Sox have fielded at least one team in the DSL each season since 1996; the team that season was a cooperative with the Houston Astros. Since 1997, the Red Sox have fielded their own team. In some seasons, the Red Sox have fielded two teams in the league. This first occurred in 2003, when the Venezuelan general strike of 2002–03 impacted the Venezuelan Summer League, where the Red Sox also had an affiliate. [3] The Red Sox have fielded two DSL teams each season since 2015, except for 2017. [4] When two teams are fielded, they are distinguished by the suffixes 1 and 2, or Blue and Red (e.g. DSL Red Sox 1). In 2022, both Red Sox teams competed in the same division.

The Red Sox fielded a cooperative team with one or more other MLB clubs several times: 1989 with the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers; 1990 with the Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres; 1996 with the Astros; 2000 with the Arizona Diamondbacks; and 2001 with the Cleveland Indians.

The DSL Red Sox reached the league championship series in 2014, and DSL Red Sox 1 won the league championship series in 2016. [5]

Notable alumni include Hanley Ramírez, who played with the team in 2001, [6] [7] Xander Bogaerts, who hit .314 with the team during the 2010 season, [8] and Rafael Devers, who hit .337 with the team during the 2014 season. [9]
