The Orioles are expected to a hire Jason Bourgeois as their next first base coach, a source with direct knowledge of the decision confirmed to The Baltimore Sun on Monday.
Bourgeois, 43, spent the past two years as first base coach and outfield coach of the Chicago White Sox before parting ways with the organization at the end of the season. He was teammates with Orioles’ incoming manager Craig Albernaz at Triple-A Durham in 2013 and appeared in part of eight MLB seasons, stealing 54 bases in 317 games.
The 2000 second-round pick of the Texas Rangers joins expected hitting coach Dustin Lind as the first known coaches to join Albernaz’s staff.
