They say you can never come home but for Matt Quatraro that is not the case as he returns to the organization where he began his professional baseball career. On Tuesday morning, the Tampa Bay Rays announced the hiring of Quatraro who returns after spending the past four seasons as the Indians assistant hitting coach.
Quatraro is the newest member to join Kevin Cash’s coaching staff, joining Kyle Snyder who was hired as the Rays pitching coach following the departure of Jim Hickey last month. In addition to Quatraro’s hiring, Cash also announced that first base coach Rocco Baldelli would shift his role into the dugout.
