The Red Sox promoted Mike Rikard to vice president of scouting as part of a series of personnel moves announced by the club on Monday.
Boston also promoted Paul Toboni to director of amateur scouting, Devin Pearson to assistant director of amateur scouting and Stephen Hargett to amateur crosschecker.
Rikard joined the Red Sox during their historic 2004 season, and he has served as the franchise’s vice president of amateur scouting over the past three seasons. The UNC-Greensboro grad also led each of the club’s past five Drafts, which yielded Andrew Benintendi, Bobby Poyner and Ben Taylor.
Toboni will oversee Boston’s amateur scouting department after spending the past three seasons as the department’s assistant director. The Red Sox hired Pearson full-time last year after he interned with the club in 2017, and Hargett has served as an amateur scout for Boston since '15.
