MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers made sweeping changes on Monday to manager Craig Counsell's coaching staff, which had remained intact through the team's managerial transition in early May.
Gone are longtime bench coach Jerry Narron, pitching coach Rick Kranitz and outfield instructor John Shelby, each of whom spent the past five seasons on the staff, plus bullpen coach Lee Tunnell and first-base coach Mike Guerrero. The Brewers offered 2016 contracts to hitting coach Darnell Coles, who will return for his second season in that role, and third-base coach Ed Sedar, who will be back for a 10th season on the Major League coaching staff and sixth in his current role.
