Minor and Major League coach
Gregson coached in the Phillies' farm system from 1979–1981. He then became a minor league pitching coach in the Chicago Cubs' organization from 1982–1984 and in 1987. From 1988–1997, he coached in the minor leagues for the Dodgers, then joined the Major League staff in 1998 as the pitching coach under managerBill Russell. However, Russell was fired on June 22 and three days later, Gregson was replaced by Charlie Hough on new skipper Glenn Hoffman's staff.[1]
Gregson returned to the Phillies as roving minor league pitching coordinator (1999–2000) and coach for the Triple-AScranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons (2001). He moved to the Red Sox system as Boston's minor league pitching coordinator (2002–04), but briefly served as interim pitching coach for the MLB Red Sox for two brief periods early in 2003 after illness sidelined Tony Cloninger. He was Boston's Latin American pitching coordinator from 2005–2017. He also worked as a pitching coach for the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Red Sox during this period. He was then the Red Sox' Latin American pitching advisor from 2018–2021.
