BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have promoted Raquel Ferreira to vice-president of baseball administration, making her the third woman to be a VP in a major league baseball operations department.

The move was announced as part of a series of off-season promotions that included Amiel Sawdaye promoted to vice-president of amateur and international scouting. Sawdaye had worked for the Red Sox for 13 years.
The team also hired former all-star pitcher Bob Tewksbury as a mental skills coach and former major leaguer Brian Bannister as a scout.
