Dodgers Coaching Staff Set to Remain Intact for Next Season
While not much is going on in baseball, even more nothing has happened for the Dodgers and the coaching staff. After scares involving bench coach Bob Geren and first base coach Clayton McCullough — both of whom interviewed for the Mets’ open managers job — Dave Roberts’ staff will remain intact for the 2022 season.
…and yes, that includes Dave Roberts for the folks incessantly on the back of the LA manager.
Expected 2022 Coaching Staff
- Dave Roberts – manager
- Bob Geren – bench coach
- Mark Prior – pitching coach
- Connor McGuiness – assistant pitching coach
- Clayton McCullough – first base coach
- Dino Ebel – third base coach
- Robert Van Scoyoc – hitting coach
- Brant Brown – hitting coach
- Aaron Bates – assistant hitting coach
- Josh Bard – Bullpen coach
- Danny Lehmann – game planning coordinator
Roberts would currently enter the 2022 season as a lame duck manager. The former National League Manager of the Year is entering the final year of a four-year extension signed after the 2018 World Series. He’s expressed hope for a contract extension this offseason, and LA’s president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, has firmly stated that he expects Doc to be the manager for a long time. Still, nothing has come together, even with a bit of extra free time with the MLB lockout freezing player movement.

Hmmmmm. Too bad.
That’s a shame
I’m sick of hearing about Geren & Mccoulan. Just because the Mets rejected them the Dodgers have to be stuck with them? I say dump them both before the season starts. Any idiot can. Plat 1st base coach. Geren is TOTALLY replaceable. Or just eliminate his job! Also do not want to hear about that chicken shit Scerzee or Seager anymore! Good riddance ?
This is bad news. Certainly should be a shakeup starting at the top after this past season’s crash.
Can any of them pitch? Because we need some starting pitchers. Obviously they weren’t going to let Roberts go. But the outlook for 2022 is not as good as it was for 2021. AF needs to pull a couple rabbits out of his hat. Again. If the Giants or Padres win the division in 2022, I’d dump Roberts.
Concur totally. Especially if the Dodgers miss October for the first time since 2012.
“…and yes, that includes Dave Roberts for the folks incessantly on the back of the LA manager.”
And rightfully so that we are on the back of the LA “manager”. He is nothing more than a buffoon. Roberts the Clown and his incompetent staff need to go.
I knew most fans would not be too thrilled about Roberts returning, as he has 1 year left on his contract.
