Seattle Mariners Manager Scott Servais today announced that all six Major League coaches (third base coach Manny Acta, bench coach Tim Bogar, first base coach Casey Candaele, bullpen coach Mike Hampton, hitting coach Edgar Martinez and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre) will return to the staff in 2017 in their current positions. In addition, Scott Brosius will join the staff as assistant coach and Chris Prieto will return in a slightly different role, now serving as special projects coach.
“Our coaches played a huge role in creating the culture, both on and off the field, that we enjoyed last season,” said Mariners Manager Scott Servais.
