The Kansas City Royals today announced the 2018 coaching staff, promoting from within the organization by naming Terry Bradshaw as the hitting coach, Cal Eldred as the pitching coach and Vance Wilson the new bullpen coach. Pedro Grifol will continue to serve as the catching coach and take over the newly-created role of quality-control coach.
Last month, the Royals announced that Dale Sveum will be the club’s bench coach in 2018 after serving on Ned Yost’s staff as the hitting coach from 2014–17. Mike Jirschele will return for his fifth season as third base coach.
