SEATTLE -- The Mariners announced their full roster of Minor League coaches for 2017 on Monday, including former Major League infielder Dave Berg, who will be the new hitting coach for Triple-A Tacoma.
The Mariners have promoted former Tacoma hitting coach Scott Brosius to their Major League staff for the upcoming season, opening a spot for Berg, who was the manager for Double-A Jacksonville in the Marlins' organization last year. Berg, 46, was an infielder with the Marlins and Blue Jays from 1998-2004 and had a career .269 average in 582 big league games.
The Mariners' Major League staff is returning in full, with Brosius added as an extra coach.
