The Mariners continued to fill out their major league coaching staff, announcing the hiring of Manny Acta as third base coach on Tuesday evening.
Acta joins manager Scott Servais’ staff, which also includes Tim Bogar (bench coach), Edgar Martinez (hitting coach) and Mel Stottlemyre Jr. (pitching coach).
“I believe Manny will be a great addition to our staff,” Servais said. “I’ve known him for over 25 years, since we were teammates in 1989. His experience as a Major League third base coach and manager, paired with his extensive player development background, will be very valuable to me, and to our players, as we move forward.
