Join the SoxProspects Team!
At SoxProspects.com, we are always looking for new members to
join our staff. At times, we post specific job openings for
positions of need, and for some positions we accept applications
on a year-round basis. Below is a list of our specific open
postings for positions of need and those positions for which we
are always looking for new teammates. If you are interested in
joining our team and believe you're qualified, please read the
below and apply!
Joining the SoxProspects staff is a great opportunity to gain
experience in the field of sports media. Members of the staff
have gone on to write for MLB.com, MiLB.com, the Baltimore Sun,
Newsday, and Baseball Prospectus, among other outlets! Some
staffers who have distinguished themselves over an extended
period have been given other multimedia opportunities such as
writing for ESPN Boston or making appearances on podcasts or
radio. Others have gone on to become part owners of the site.
Please note that all positions on the SoxProspects.com staff are
volunteer positions. If you are interested in applying, please
email info@soxprospects.com, preferably including a resume and a
basic overview of your relevant skills and experience. Apologies
in advance that we might not be able to personally respond to
every applicant. Thanks to everyone for their interest!
The following are basic requirements for all positions on the
SoxProspects staff:
• Professional attitude and approach
• Some experience (direct or analogous) related to the position
for which you are applying
• Strong attention to detail
• Basic familiarity with SoxProspects.com and the Red Sox minor
league system
• A perfunctory understanding of baseball statistics
• Ability to work independently without much hand-holding or
oversight. To be upfront - we all work remotely, there is
minimal face-to-face interaction, and we all have full-time jobs
or school separate from the site. |

Year-Round Hiring
Staff Writer. We accept resumes for our Staff
Writer position year-round. Responsibilities of the position
generally include writing the Cup of Coffee daily recap once or
twice a week, taking a regular turn compiling our Weekly Notes,
and writing other recurring articles on our News Page such as
our monthly and weekly offseason features. Strong performance
could lead to expanded opportunity to contribute to feature
series such as our Draft Retrospective series. We estimate that
the time commitment for this position is roughly 2-4 hours per
week.
Web Editor. We accept resumes for our Web
Editor position year-round. The position's primary
responsibility is to update certain pages of the site on a
timely basis after transactions occur in the Red Sox system. The
main requirements are web editing experience and flexible
availability to do updates over the course of the day. We
estimate that the time commitment for this position is roughly
2-4 hours per week.
Scout. We are always open to accepting resumes
for the Scout position. Prior experience in scouting, playing
the game at a highly competitive level, or working for a college
or professional baseball team is required. Unfortunately this is
not an entry-level position for someone who wants to learn about
scouting from the ground up. A successful applicant will have
demonstrated some competency and/or experience in player
evaluation prior to hiring. Applicants must also have the
ability to attend games played by Red Sox affiliate clubs, and
therefore should live within a reasonable distance from parks at
which Red Sox affilaites play. |
