Why Dodgers are suddenly parting ways with co-hitting coach
The Los Angeles Dodgers have parted ways with co-hitting coach Aaron Bates after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract, MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes reported on Friday. The decision comes despite the organization initially expecting to retain its coaching staff for the 2027 season.
Los Angeles reportedly offered Bates a multiyear deal to remain with the franchise, but negotiations ultimately reached an impasse. The 42-year-old had spent 12 years with the Dodgers, including the past four seasons working alongside Robert Van Scoyoc as co-hitting coach.
