Coaching Notes: D-backs, A’s, Rays, Indians

By Connor Byrne | October 31, 2019 at 10:13pm CDT

The latest notable coaching news from around the majors…

  • Diamondbacks bench coach Jerry Narron has elected to leave the team’s staff, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com tweets. Narron spent the previous two-plus years as manager Torey Lovullo’s top lieutenant in Arizona, though the club moved Luis Urueta into that role after the season. It’s unclear at this point if Narron has an opportunity lined up elsewhere. Now 63 years old, Narron’s a former big league catcher who has managed the Rangers (2001-02) and Reds (2005-07).
  • The Athletics have made a few changes to their staff, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle details. First base coach Al Pedrique is moving across the field to take over for third base coach Matt Williams, who will manage in Korea next season. Matt Aldrete will go from assistant hitting coach to first base coach to fill Pedrique’s void. Meanwhile, Eric Martins will assume the role of assistant hitting coach after coaching in the A’s minor league system for half a decade.
  • Longtime Rays coach Tom Foley has decided to retire at the age of 60, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Foley, a professional infielder from 1983-1995, spent a combined 16 years in multiple coaching positions for the Rays. He worked as a special assistant with the club over the previous two seasons.
  • Along with the previously reported decision to promote Brian Sweeney to bullpen coach, the Indians have moved Ruben Niebla to assistant pitching coach, Mandy Bell of MLB.com relays. A former minor league right-hander, Niebla will enter his 20th year as an Indians coach in 2020. He spent the previous seven seasons as the Indians’ minor league pitching coordinator. Niebla’s “big on analytics” and widely respected in the organization, per Zack Meisel of The Athletic.

    I thought Al Pedrique should’ve gotten a shot for Yankees manager when they hired Boone. Pedrique managed the teams core in the minors and I think he would’ve been a great hire for Yankees manager

    I don’t get why these writers will use a contraction for “Narron is” but then in the next paragraph not use one for “Pedrique is.”

    The writing style here is too informal, and not really professional or journalistic. I worked as a copywriter for a while and I got hammered for stuff like this.

      Agree 100%, it just looks bad. Not something one would even say out loud.

      MLBTR should hire you to edit their stuff.

        Too bad the free excellent content by a writing staff who works long hours isn’t doing enough for you.

        I couldn’t agree more. Just because everybody’s doing it doesn’t mean we should.

    Tribe must be grooming Niebla to take over for Carl Willis.

      Yes they are .It’s paramount to keep him in the organization since he’s been the pitching coordinator in the minors and has had a major hand in producing the Tribe’s top notch pitchers for a decade,from Carrasco and Kluber to Civale and Plesac and all the guys in between.
