A few months after he signed a long-term extension and then made some changes to his coaching staff for his fourth year in Washington, Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez gave reporters an explanation for the decision to shake things up again after shuffling them up for the follow-up to 2019’s World Series win.
Martinez replaced pitching coach Paul Menhart with his old friend Jim Hickey, then brought organizational stalwart Randy Knorr up as first base coach, with Bob Henley moving back to third base to take the place of Chip Hale, who left the organization after three years as part of the manager’s staff.
