The Seattle Mariners' coaching staff received a dose of managerial experience Tuesday when Manny Acta, a former manager of the Washington Nationals and Cleveland Indians, was hired as third base coach.
The move was announced by general manager Jerry Dipoto and manager Scott Servais in a press release.
"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.
