There won’t be any drama with the Orioles coaching staff this offseason. MASN’s Roch Kubatko reported on Tuesday night that the team has invited back the entirety of the 2017 coaching staff for next season. For many, contracts were set to expire when the calendar turned over to November.
Despite a league-worst starting rotation and a near-league-worst team on-base percentage, not much of the blame for the poor performance of the 2017 team seems to have fallen on its coaches like pitching coach Roger McDowell or hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh.
Should the Orioles have made a change with their coaching staff for the sake of making a change?
