The hiring of a new bullpen coach is not cause for Cleveland Indians fans to go wild. Though I’m sure there are at least a few fans out there happy about the move.
Paul Hoynes of cleveland.com recently shared the news that the Indians made two coaching moves. The first was to promote Brian Sweeney to the role of bullpen coach. The second involves Ruben Niebla getting a newly created position. The exact role appears to be undefined right now.
The only coaching staff move of note this offseason came when bullpen coach Scott Atchison was fired.
