The Orioles announced today that John Mabry has been added to the major league coaching staff as a senior advisor. reported yesterday that the two sides were in discu sions about the position. Mabry, 54, played in the big leagues from 1994 to 2007 but has pivoted to a coaching career since then. The Cardinals hired him as an a sistant hitting coach prior to the 2012 season, working under hitting coach Mark McGwire. One year later, McGwire departed for Marquese Chriss Jersey the Dodgers and Mabry was promoted to hitting coach. Mabry held that job until manager Mark Matheny was fired in the middle of the 2018 season, with Mabry dismi sed alongside the skipper. He was then hired by the Royals as a major league coach for the 2020-22 seasons. He then returned to an a sistant hitting coach role with the Marlins for the 2023 seasons and got promoted to hitting coach for 2024. At the end of last season, the Marlins underwent a ma sive internal staff turnover. They didnt retain any of their coaching staff and also got rid of many clubhouse attendants, performance staff and others. For the Orioles, they have recently started doing some staff turnover of their own. Amid a deeply disappointing season, they fired manager Brandon Hyde about two weeks ago. Third base coach Tony Mansolino became the interim manager. Major League field coordinator and catching instructor Tim Co sins was also let go. Major league coach Buck Britton took over for Mansolino as third base coach. Mansolino doesnt have a ton of big league coaching experience. He has managed in the minors but only joined a big league staff for the first time in 2020. He served as Clevelands third base coach and then pivoted to the Orioles in that same job for the 2021 season. As mentioned by Rosenthal, the club also has a first-year hitting coach in Cody Asche and a first-time bench coach in Robinson Chirinos. Pitching coach Drew French is only in his second season. With the Os having cut two members of the staff, Mabry will come in and give them a fresh set of eyes, presumably lending the wisdom of his experience to a new manager and a staff thats fairly green on the whole.
