Omaha manager Brian Poldberg announced he will retire after the season ends on October 3. The 64-year old Poldberg had managed the Storm Chasers since 2014, winning a Triple-A championship that season, and originally began his coaching career with the Royals in 1987.
A native of Omaha, Poldberg has won 475 games in his seven seasons with the Storm Chasers, and has won 1,350 games in 21 seasons as a minor league manager. He told the Omaha World-Herald it was time.
“The time’s here,” said Poldberg, who earned his 475th win with the Chasers on Wednesday.
