Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
A pair of coaches from the A’s minor league affiliates will be joining the Big League coaching staff in 2024, per Martin Gallegos at MLB.com.
Bobby Crosby is well known to A’s fans. He was the A’s first round pick in 2001, won the AL Rookie of the Year award in 2004, and continued to play for the A’s, primarily as shortstop, through 2009.
Crosby has been coaching the Double-A Midland Rockhounds since 2021, but was called up to serve as the A’s first-base coach next year.
