Cubs retain coach Hyde, reportedly lose Haines

CHICAGO -- Bench coach Brandon Hyde, who interviewed for four of the Major League managerial openings, will stay with the Cubs, but assistant hitting coach Andy Haines is reportedly headed to the Brewers as their hitting coach.

The Cubs have yet to formally announce the 2019 coaching staff, although they did name Anthony Iapoce as hitting coach on Oct. 15, replacing Chili Davis, who was dismissed. Iapoce, 45, was the Cubs' Minor League hitting coordinator from 2013-15 and spent the last three seasons as the Rangers' hitting coach.

Hyde, 45, interviewed for vacancies with the Rangers, Angels, Twins and Blue Jays.
