The Royals’ Ned Yost, who will serve as the manager for the American League in the All-Star Game next month, is bringing his staff to Cincinnati as well.
Yost announced Wednesday that Houston manager A.J. Hinch and Seattle’s Lloyd McClendon would be his coaches for the game. Yost also will bring along his Royals’ staff: pitching coach Dave Eiland, catching coach Pedro Grifol, bullpen coach Doug Henry, third base coach Mike Jirschele, first base coach Rusty Kuntz, hitting coach Dale Sveum and bench coach Don Wakamatsu.
Bruce Bochy, whose San Francisco Giants beat the Royals in seven games in last year’s World Series, will manage the National League team.
