Cubs lose another coach

Davey Martinez, the bench coach for Joe Maddon since he arrived in town, has been named as the manager of the Washington Nationals.

Since the '17 season ended, the Cubs have parted ways with their pitching coach, hitting coach, assistant hitting coach, third base coach, and now their bench coach.

The new pitching coach is Jim Hickey, formerly with the Tampa Rays. Their new hitting coach is former big league slugger Chili Davis. Will the new bench coach be David Ross? Not sure about that. He'll demand a pretty penny. He's making a fortune these days as a media maven.
