Dodgers hire Pedro Guerrero away from Marlins as hitting coach
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have hired Pedro Guerrero as a hitting coach, bringing him back to the organization that drafted him as a player.
Guerrero replaces Aaron Bates, who couldn't reach agreement on a new contract. Bates had been co-hitting coach with Robert Van Scoyoc since 2023 and he had been on the coaching staff since 2019.
The Pedro Guerrero hired Tuesday is not to be confused with the Pedro Guerrero who played 11 seasons in Los Angeles and won a World Series title with the Dodgers in 1981, when he was Series MVP.
