Orioles in discussions with John Mabry to join coaching staff: Sources
The Orioles' firings of manager Brandon Hyde and field coordinator/catching instructor Tim Cossins effectively left the team down two coaches. They are in discussions with John Mabry to fill one of those positions, according to sources briefed on the team's plans. Mabry, a former major-league outfielder and first baseman and coach with the St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals and Miami Marlins, would become a senior advisor on new manager Tony Mansolino's staff. Mansolino's promotion from third base coach created the other coaching vacancy. Advertisement The Orioles replaced Mansolino at third base by expanding Buck Britton's duties as a major-league coach. Mabry, 54, essentially would take Cossins' spot. The Orioles do not intend to fulfill the second coaching opening. As a senior advisor, Mabry would bring experience to a staff that includes not just a first-time manager in Mansolino, but also a first-year hitting coach (Cody Asche), first-year bench coach (Robinson Chirinos) and second-year pitching coach (Drew French). In previous jobs, Mabry served mostly as a hitting coach. He spent seven seasons with the Cardinals, three with the Royals and two with the Marlins. A job in Baltimore would be something of a homecoming. Mabry was born in Wilmington, Del., and attended high school in Chesapeake City, Md. (Top photo of John Mabry in August 2024:)
