Rays Hire Rodney Linares As Third-Base Coach

By Jeff Todd | November 21, 2018 at 10:30am CDT

The Rays announced today that they have hired Rodney Linares as their third-base coach. He’ll step in for Matt Quatraro, who slid over to bench coach when Charlie Montoyo left to become the new Blue Jays manager.

With the move, Linares will conclude a lengthy tenure with the Astros organization. Long a presence in the Houston organization’s minor-league system, he functioned as the Triple-A skipper in 2018 but has not yet served on a MLB staff.

It appears that Linares will still be accompanied by one other new addition to the staff of skipper Kevin Cash. With Rocco Baldelli also departing to take the helm of a new club, in his case the Twins, there’s still another opening.

    O’s also just hired Sig Mejdal from Houston. All the folks at MLBTR have done a truly lame job thus far of covering the news coming out of Baltimore re their FO.

      You could always start your own Website and do your own coverage.

    They also don’t cover every single front office hiring. I don’t think your criticism of the “folks at MLBTR” is fair at all. These guys kill it, daily. There aren’t many places to get all this info compiled in one spot.

      Grateful, very, for the work done at MLBTR but I wouldn’t say these “guys kill it, daily.” There’s solid work here and there’s at times room for improvement. So when I see something I say something.

      Cjp, they covered a third base coach hiring by the TBR. They buried, in another post the imminently consequential hiring of Mike Elias to head the O’s.

    Bigger question re the Astros (and perhaps the MLBTR people can look into this) is how there’s been such a massive brain drain in such a short span. It’s, to the best of my recollection, unprecedented.
