A familiar face will be returning to Oakland to help the A’s with their defensive woes.
Two sources confirmed for CSN California that the team has been discussing bringing back former coach Ron Washington to work with infielders as a special instructor, with one source saying it’s a certainty that Washington will rejoin the A’s.
Washington, who served as Oakland’s infield coach and third base coach from 1997-2006 and then managed the Texas Rangers from 2007-14, would serve as a special instructor of some sort, with Mike Gallego already on board as the full-time infield coach and third-base coach.
