Red Sox outfielder Gabe Kapler retired Tuesday after nine major league seasons to start a managerial career with the team's Class-A farm team in Greenville, S.C., a move he hopes will lead to big league job.

Kapler, who is just 31, takes over from former major league infielder Luis Alicea, who was promoted to Boston's first-base and infield coach.
