Orioles Add Two To Coaching Staff

By Ty Bradley | December 27, 2018 at 6:55pm CDT

The Orioles have added two former Cubs staffers to new manager Brandon Hyde’s coaching staff, according to reports.

Per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic (Twitter link), former Cubs minor-league field/catching coordinator Tim Cossins will join the Orioles’ coaching staff. Cossins, 48, previously managed in the Marlins’ system before joining the Cubs in 2012. He also had an eight-year playing career in the minors and served as the Royals’ bullpen catcher after he retired. Mooney cites Cossins as a “key behind-the-scenes figure” in Chicago’s ascension over the last few seasons.

Jose Flores, last year’s first-base coach for the Phillies, will also join the Baltimore staff in the upcoming season, reports Joe Trezza of MLB.com (also via Twitter). Flores, 47, also joined Chicago’s staff in 2012 and remained there through the 2017 season before being added to Gabe Kapler’s staff with the Phillies last season. Flores also has a fair bit of managerial experience under his belt, having managed in Puerto Rico for eight years in addition to a one-year stint managing the Indians’ Dominican Summer League affiliate and as the manager for Team Puerto Rico in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

    Exciting (if not remotely headline grabbing) moves by O’s. It’s gonna be a fun year in Baltimore actually (despite a hefty number of losses).

    Laugh at the O’s all you want but at least they’re shaking up the coaching staff and front office and trying to build a better organization. Wish my white sox would do the same.

      The White Sox are in a much better position than the Orioles are.

          What do you think Baltimore is gonna be hoping from their prospects? Especially, after they get rid of any big contracts that they can.

          They have several prospects. No franchise players or imminent superstars but plenty of solid prospects. You’ll be seeing them soon. For many, their growing pains will be at the MLB Level.

      Do you follow baseball. White sox have the 3rd best minor league system. WhitenSox are 2 years ahead of the Orioles as far as rebuilding.

    They have a better farm and they won more games, yes, but they still have the same people who got the White Sox where they are in the first place. Hate to be negative but it’s the truth

    Coaching staff moves can be overlooked by many as not important, but they can make or break a team just as easily as the players. It’s gonna be a long road, but when the O’s get back to being a contender, it’ll be good for MLB.

    Cossins is pretty highly regarded. He was part of the Marlins system when they were producing Stanton, Yellich, Gordon, Ozuna et al. and part of the Cubs org when they funneling their draft picks up the ladder.

    And the O’s system isn’t that bad…Duquette got them off the floor of the ratings. At least now there’s some quantity, even if the quality is still missing. But it only takes a couple of good drafts and good International sprees to add to that quantity..

    Their revenue situation is still decent…they can afford to eat a couple of bad deals in return for some young talent…..or at least pay off some of those deferrals they gave Crash……yech!…..

    So O’s fans, I’m curious, what will be considered a successful season? I’m not one of those that will consider “only” losing 100 games a success. The division is brutal but my feeling is if they can get to 70 wins that I’d think most fans would be happy with that.
