The Dodgers have quite a few coaching positions to fill this off-season. Former third base coach Chris Woodward accepted the skipper job with the Texas Rangers and took assistant hitting coach Luis Ortiz with him. Bench coach Turner Ward took the same position with the Cincinnati Reds, and pitching coordinator Danny Lehman will not be returning to the club.
According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, Dino Ebel will become the Dodgers’ new third base coach. Ebel has been both a player and a coach for the Dodgers before, as a minor leaguer and then a player-coach in the California League.
