Earlier this offseason, the Phillies had stated that the entire coaching staff from 2014 was "invited to return". That meant, of course, that those not under contract would certainly be allowed to pursue other options before deciding to accept. The Phillies announced today (via Todd Zolecki of MLB.com) that the entire coaching staff will return in 2014.
The Phillies coaching staff is:
- Bob McClure, pitching coach
- Larry Bowa, bench coach
- Rod Nichols, bullpen coach
- Steve Henderson, hitting coach
- John Mizerock, assistant hitting coach
- Juan Samuel, first base coach
- Pete Mackanin, third base coach
Bowa had a two-year deal when he was brought aboard prior to 2014, but others were working on one-year deals.
