Mariners Add Kristopher Negron To Player Development Staff

By Steve Adams | November 19, 2019 at 3:28pm CDT

The Mariners announced Tuesday that they’ve hired recently retired infielder/outfielder Kristopher Negron as an assistant to director of player development Andy McKay. In his new role, the 33-year-old Negron will assist “in all aspects of player development, including on-field instruction and mentoring minor league players on what it means to be a great teammate,” per the Mariners’ release.

“I’ve had the unique perspective of watching Kris play in high school, competing against him in junior college, and then having him be part of the Mariner family the past few years,” said McKay in a statement announcing the hiring. “During these 15 years, whether it was in high school or the Major Leagues, Kris has earned an unparalleled level of respect from his coaches, teammates, fans and members of the media. We couldn’t be more excited to bring Kris into player development where he will immediately begin to impact our people and our process both on and off the field. This is a great day for the Mariners.”

Negron played in parts of six Major League seasons, including 2018-19 stints with the Mariners. Dating back to his 2012 debut with the Reds, he’s seen time in Cincinnati, Arizona, Seattle and Los Angeles and appeared in 170 Major League games. He also played in parts of 10 Triple-A seasons (14 minor league seasons overall) and appeared at every position on the diamond outside of catcher.

    In the short time he played for the Dodgers he was a gamer type player. Would have liked to see him back in Dodger blue this year

      Another agree. For the short time he was here, and for the contributions he made, he was a welcome addition to the roster.

    As much as I’ve seen him in Reno with the Aces, and then joining the Dodgers in 2019, I didn’t realize he was 33.

    His retirement announcement on Twitter was a surprise. Good luck to him.

    Went to the same high school as Kris. Always came back and worked out with us before his spring training started. Kind of surprised, he’s an energetic man, very optimistic. He had success this year, I thought he’d give it one last go. But I’m happy for the dude, he’s going to give it his all in everything he does.
