Al Pedrique, the Yankees manager of the New York Yankees Triple-A farm team—the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders for the past two seasons, has left the organization to take a post as the first base coach of the Oakland A’s.
Oakland has named Al Pedrique as its first base coach. Pedrique managed the Yankees' Triple-A team last season but was not given an opportunity to interview for their managerial opening.

Although Pedrique has yet to comment on his reasons for leaving the Yankees, Feinsand would appear to be on target when he cites the fact Pedrique was not given even a courtesy interview by Brian Cashman during his search for a new manager to replace Joe Girardi.
