Fox spent 2011-24 with Boston Red Sox

From Mirror reports

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Altoona Curve announced the 2025 coaching staff for the Curve on Friday, headlined by new manager Andy Fox.

“The Pirates hit an absolute home run with this group, and I cannot wait to see them in action this season,” Curve general manager Nate Bowen said.

Fox is the 16th manager in Altoona’s franchise history and spent the last three seasons on the Boston Red Sox major-league coaching staff after serving as the team’s infield coordinator from 2011-21 and as the team’s assistant field coordinator. He joined the Red Sox major league staff under Alex Cora as the team’s field coordinator for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, then served as the team’s first base coach during the 2024 season.

Fox will lead a Curve coaching staff that features just one holdover from previous seasons — bench coach Gary Green. Pitching coach Matt Ford joins the team for his 12th season as an instructor in the Pirates minor leagues. Hitting coaches Scott Seabol and Casey Harms also join the staff for their first season as instructors in Altoona after serving at the lower levels of the Pirates minor league system in 2024.

Rounding out the coaching staff is athletic trainer Casey Lee, strength and conditioning coach Ryoji Ejima, nutritionist Sierra Scott and minor league operations assistant Sam Klein.

Fox, a former Major League infielder and outfielder with the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, Florida Marlins, Montral Expos and Texas Rangers, begins his first season working in the Pirates minor league system. A native of Sacramento, Calif., Fox earned a pair of World Series championship rings during his playing career with the Yankees in 1996 and Marlins in 2003.

Drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round (45th overall) out of Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento, Fox played parts of nine major league seasons: totaling 776 games. Fox was known best for his versatility on the diamond, appearing at seven different positions during his major and minor league career. Fox’s playing career ended following the 2005 season with the LA Angels Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake.

Fox’s coaching career has seen him serve in several roles with the Rangers, Mariners, Marlins and Red Sox. His journey began as the manager for the Texas Rangers with their Single-A affiliate in Clinton in 2006 where he spent one season before joining the Marlins staff.
