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 ESPN.com,
MLB.com, MiLB.com, the Baltimore Sun, Newsday, and Baseball
Prospectus, among other outlets!
Important to
note that these are unpaid, volunteer positions. If you are
interested in applying, please email info@soxprospects.com,
preferably including a resume and a basic overview of your
skills and experience with respect to the requirements outlined
below. We look forward to hearing from you! We do not have a set
timeline to fill these positions – we’re just waiting for the
right candidates. Apologies in advance that we might not be able
to personally respond to every applicant.
The following are basic requirements for all positions on the
staff:
• Familiarity with SoxProspects.com and the
Red Sox minor league system
• Availability and interest as noted in the below job
descriptions
• Perfunctory understanding of baseball stats (understanding of
advanced stats would be a big plus)
• Some experience directly or analogously related to the
position (writing experience for the Staff Writer position and
editing, content, and/or graphics experience for the SMS
position)
• Strong attention to detail
• Professional attitude and approach
• Someone who can work on their own without much hand-holding
or oversight. To be upfront, we all work remotely, there’s
almost no face-to-face interaction, and the site is not anyone’s
primary job. After the first couple months, successful staff
members take the bull by the horns and are able to make the
position their own.

Current Open Positions
Social Media Specialist. This is a
fantastic opportunity to showcase your creativity, grow your
digital skills, and become part of the most comprehensive source
for Red Sox prospect news. We’re seeking someone who can commit
through the end of 2026, with the hope of building a longer term
relationship if it’s a great fit. This role will generally
require a commitment of a few hours per week during the baseball
season, and less during the off-season.
What You’ll Do
• Create eye-catching graphics for Twitter and Instagram that
bring our content to life.
• Post engaging, game-related updates during evenings during
the baseball season.
• Help maintain a strong presence across platforms like
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook.
• Expect to dedicate a few hours per week during the season,
with a lighter load in the offseason.
What We’re Looking For
• Familiarity with SoxProspects.com and the Red Sox minor
league system.
• Ability to post professionally on major social platforms.
• Flexibility to share game content during evenings (not every
night, but some availability is key).
• Experience creating visual content and graphics.
• A proactive, self-starter attitude—someone who thrives with
minimal oversight.
• Strong attention to detail and a basic understanding of
baseball stats.
Why Join Us?
This is a volunteer position, but it’s a great stepping stone
for aspiring digital media professionals. Past SoxProspects
staff have gone on to write for ESPN.com, Baseball America,
Baseball Prospectus, the Boston Globe, the Baltimore Sun,
MLB.com, and more!
Ready to Apply?
Email info@soxprospects.com with your resume and a brief
overview of your skills and experience relevant to the role. We
can’t wait to hear from you!

Year-Round Hiring
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. |
