The Los Angeles Dodgers coaching staff will feature plenty of new faces for the 2019 season, following the notable departures of former hitting coach Turner Ward and third base and infield coach Chris Woodward over the winter.
Woodward, who was instrumental in the Dodgers advancing to consecutive World Series, accepted a position to become manager of the rebuilding Texas Rangers last November.
Woodward was lauded for his ability to connect to players during his three-year stint in Los Angeles, which made him an appealing hire for the Rangers. With a young roster in place, he will be responsible for eventually propelling the club into a playoff contender.
