Phillies Lose Bullpen Receiving Coach Craig Driver to Cubs

Phillies Bullpen Catcher/Receiving Coach Craig Driver was among members of Joe Girardi‘s coaching staff recently speculated to possibly re-join Gabe Kapler on the San Francisco Giants.

Well, just weeks later, it appears Driver is indeed leaving the Phillies after just two seasons, but instead to join new-manager David Ross‘ staff on the Chicago Cubs as first base/catching coach, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.

It is not known whether the Phillies will seek to replace Driver, or whether Bullpen Catcher/Catching Coach Bob Stumpo will not have an expanded role.
