PHOENIX -- Peter Woodfork followed Josh Byrnes from the
Boston Red Sox and was hired Wednesday as Byrnes' assistant general
manager with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Woodfork, 29, was director of baseball operations/assistant
director of player development with the Red Sox for the past three
seasons.
He rejoins Byrnes, the Red Sox assistant general manager who
replaced Joe Garagiola Jr. as Arizona's general manager after the
season.
Woodfork holds a degree in psychology from Harvard, where he was
a four-year starter for the Crimson baseball team. He worked two
years in the labor relations department of the commissioner's
office before joining the Red Sox.
