Dodgers News: Coaching Roster for Minor League Teams Announced

The press release detailed the various managers, coaches, and trainers for each team.

This week, the Dodgers released the coaching staff rosters for their seven minor-league affiliates.

As six of the seven teams remain consistent with last year’s manager, High-A Great Lakes welcomes a new manager, Daniel Nava. Nava had experience playing in the big leagues for seven years across teams including the Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Angels, Kansas City Royals, and Philadelphia Phillies. The former outfielder now replaces Austin Chubb, who served as manager of the Loons for the last two years.

The rest of the managers in the system return to the franchise: Travis Barbary (Triple-A Oklahoma City), Scott Hennessey (Double-A Tulsa), John Shoemaker (Low-A Rancho Cucamonga), Jair Fernandez (Arizona Complex League Dodgers), and Dunior Zerpa and Cordell Hipolito (Dominican Summer League Dodgers).
