The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of a euphoric championship celebration, but there is news that a major figure from the organization will not be returning to help the club try to defend that title next season.
Cody Stavenhagen and Britt Ghiroli of The Athletic are reporting that Dodgers’ first base coach George Lombard has been hired as the new bench coach next season for the Detroit Tigers and will serve under their newly hired manager A.J. Hinch.
The Tigers had previously interviewed Lombard for that open managerial position earlier this offseason before ultimately opting for Hinch.
