Revolutionary Blue Jays coaching staff absorbs blow after Giants steal key piece

The Toronto Blue Jays will be searching for not one, but two new coaches for their MLB staff ahead of the 2026 season. After Don Mattingly stepped down from his role as bench coach earlier this offseason, it has been announced the assistant hitting coach Hunter Mense will also be leaving the club.

As reported by Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Mense will be taking his talents to the West Coast and joining the San Francisco Giants to be their hitting coach.
