After finally naming their manager, the Dodgers knew they would have other coaching vacancies to fill. Rick Honeycutt, while not officially back yet, is expected to be back as the Dodgers’ pitching coach. Dave Roberts is obviously the manager, and the rest of the coaching staff was reportedly free to search for other jobs.
San Diego Tribune writer Dennis Lin wrote over the weekend that McGwire seemed to be a strong candidate to take the bench coaching vacancy in San Diego, and CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweeted early Tuesday that he was expected to be named bench coach.
