The baseball world got some more sad news Tuesday.
Former Red Sox coach and PawSox manager Ron Johnson passed away following being hospitalized with COVID-19. He was 64 years old.
Johnson joined the Red Sox organization in 2000 and worked his way up through the minor league system. He was the Triple-A manager from 2005-09 and then the Red Sox' first base coach in 2010 and 2011 before being dismissed following the departure of Terry Francona.
From there, Johnson joined the Orioles organization as their Triple-A manager.
Johnson was highly regarded in the Red Sox organization during his time in both Boston and Pawtucket.
