Cubs Reveal Full Coaching Staff for David Ross' First Season as Manager

The Chicago Cubs' coaching staff underwent sweeping changes this offseason, and on Monday the organization finally announced who will be accompanying David Ross in his first season as manager.

Before the full list was disclosed, however, two last-minute changes were made.

Kyle Evans was tabbed the club's senior director of major league data and development while Will Venable made the shift from first base coach to third base coach. Elsewhere, the Cubs announced that Franklin Font and Juan Cabreja will return as assistants for their ninth and fourth seasons with the franchise, respectively.

With that revelation, Ross' staff is complete and includes quality assurance coach Mike Napoli, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy, and bench coach Andy Green.

Joining them are hitting coach Anthony Iapoce and assistant hitting coach Termel Sledge, both of whom will be returning for their second campaign.

Associate pitching, catching, and strategy coach Mike Borzello will enter his ninth season at the helm, whereas bullpen coach Chris Young is entering his first after being hired in November.

Now that the coaching staff headache is sorted out, Cubs fans can look forward to what is sure to be a hectic winter of personnel changes with new rumors and reports surfacing each week.
