LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Wednesday announced their minor league coaching staffs for 2017, with no changes to the staffs in the top three affiliates, but new managers in Class-A Great Lakes and Rookie level Ogden.
Even with the changes, it isn’t much relative to 2016 when the Dodgers shuffled their staffs and had a new manager at all six domestic levels, including three managers new to the organization.
Class-A Great Lakes has a new manager in Jeremy Rodriguez and new pitching coach in Connor McGuiness, both in their first year with the Dodgers. Rodriguez is 27, and managed the Padres’ Dominican Summer League team in 2015-2016 after catching for five years in San Diego’s farm system.
