In a press conference alongside President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, Manager Dave Roberts announced that the entire coaching staff will return next season. The staff which includes Roberts, Pitching Coach Rick Honeycutt, Bench Coach Bob Geren and Hitting Coach Turner Ward, was instrumental in handling a roster in flux for much of the year, one which saw a record number of days lost to the DL.
The move hardly comes as a surprise as Roberts is a favorite to win NL Manager of the Year, while Honeycutt proved once again to be one of the league’s top pitching coaches.
