Cubs To Hire Brandon Hyde As Bench Coach

By Jeff Todd | November 9, 2017 at 10:07am CDT

The Cubs have decided to hire Brandon Hyde as their new bench coach, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). Chicago found itself in need when Dave Martinez departed to manage the Nationals.

Hyde, 44, is certainly a familiar face for the Cubs. He most recently served on skipper Joe Maddon’s staff as first base coach. Before that, Hyde was the bench coach under prior manager Rick Renteria and also coached for the Marlins earlier in his career.

      Bench coach is supposed to be competent, not flashy.

      Hyde is that.

      Bench coach is a bit of a meh position to start with.

    It’s an otherwise star-studded coaching staff. Butterfield has reputation as a top infield coach; Chili Davis has excellent rep as hitting coach; Maddon is one of the top 3 or 4 managers; Hickey considered to be outstanding PC…pretty much all top in their fields. Except for Hyde.

    I was hoping for David Ross, but not surprised if he wasn’t interested.

      Me too. Ross has been busy. I think he still wants time away. Give him a year or two

    Hyde was the Cubs bench coach before Martinez and then was shifted to first base coach. So Cubs former bench coach who was still on the coaching staff goes back to his former role. Familar with the job and players for past 4-5 years. Good choice.

    New coaches that maddon can fire when they don’t win it all again because of course it is never the managers fault….haha

        you really don’t think he had a good amount of input? funny how cubs fans give maddon credit for everything when the pitching and hitting coaches probably have more to do with that. like turning arrieta into a good pitcher. definitely not maddon.
