The Pittsburgh Pirates announced several changes among their baseball operations on Wednesday morning. The most notable change is that Dave Jauss has been named the bench coach for 2016. He has been on the coaching staff since October 31, 2012 and he's currently in his 29th season in pro ball. He began his career as a manager in the Gulf Coast League in 1988 for the Montreal Expos. On top of the pro experience, he also spent six years managing in college baseball.
Other changes include Kevan Graves being promoted from Director of Baseball Operations to Assistant General Manager.
