Washington Nationals: What losing the coaching staff means

Yesterday, the Washington Nationals made news in a stunning move to dismiss manager Dusty Baker. Baker led the team to their first consecutive division titles, and finished with a record of 192-132 with the Nats.

In dismissing Baker, the Nats also dismissed their entire coaching staff. Bench coach Chris Speier, pitching coach Mike Maddux, hitting coach Rick Schu, assistant hitting coach Jacque Jones, first base coach Davey Lopes, third base coach Bob Henley, and bullpen coach Dan Firova were all let go.
