Dave Martinez was recently named Nationals manager and he’s already begun raiding the Cubs coaching staff:
Report from @chelsea_janes that Henry Blanco leaving #Cubs to join Dave Martinez and Nats as bullpen coach. Will miss Hank White

This is a promotion for Hank White, as he was the Cubs’ quality control coach. The Cubs will have to fill that position as well as the vacancy for first-base coach, for whom I proposed Doug Dascenzo last week.
