Both hires are known for strong communication, something the Pirates have lacked since the Clint Hurdle era.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will add a pair of familiar faces to their coaching staff next week, per a report from Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, as the team is set to hire Kristopher Negron as bench coach and Tony Beasley as third base coach.
Negron, like Pirates manager Don Kelly, was a career utility man. He most recently worked with the Seattle Mariners, spending the last four years on their major league staff.
