After falling just short of winning the World Series for the second straight season, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost a number of staff members at the beginning of this offseason.
One of them was hitting coach Turner Ward, who took the same position with the Cincinnati Reds so he can be closer to his ailing wife and family in Alabama. The Dodgers also lost third base and infield coach Chris Woodward as he’s now manager of the Texas Rangers.
Los Angeles has not yet found replacements for their coaching staff or font office, though Dino Ebel, formerly of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, is expected to be hired as third base coach.
