The Dodgers haven’t announced their coaching staff under Dave Roberts, who was named the new manager just yesterday, but it appears Mark McGwire won’t be on it.
McGwire is in line to be the next bench coach of the San Diego Padres, according to multiple reports. The Dodgers’ hitting coach the last three seasons, McGwire lives in Irvine. He came to Los Angeles from St. Louis so he could work closer to home. San Diego might be a longer commute, but at least it fits the Southern California bill.
Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt is returning for his 11th season with the Dodgers, according to multiple reports, though the team hasn’t confirmed this. Outside of Honeycutt, the staff could take on a very different look in 2016.
