CHICAGO CUBS MEDIA RELEASE © 2020 Chicago Cubs CHICAGO CUBS MEDIA RELEASE © 2020 Chicago Cubs CUBS ANNOUNCE 2020 MINOR LEAGUE MANAGERS AND STAFF TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2020 CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs today announced their minor league managers and coaching staffs for the 2020 season. Seven managers return to their same teams as last season while eight of nine managers were in Chicago’s organization last year. A detailed list of each club’s managers and coaching staffs is attached, and more information on returning members of the organization may be found on pages 225-249 of the Chicago Cubs 2019 Media Guide. Marty Pevey returns for his 12th season in the organization and his eighth as manager for Triple-A Iowa and brings with over 30 years of professional experience, beginning with 13 years as a player. He last year guided Iowa to its first postseason appearance since 2008, and his 479 regular season managerial victories with Iowa are a franchise record. Michael Ryan is in his first season as manager of the Double-A Tennessee Smokies following seven seasons as a manager in the Pittsburgh Pirates chain, including the last three seasons at the helm of Double-A Altoona. He led the Curve to the Eastern League championship in 2017, the first of two-straight campaigns with Western Division titles. The former outfielder played 149 major league games with the Twins (2002-05) and Angels (2010). Steven Lerud returns for his second season as manager of Single-A Myrtle Beach, and his third as a manager in the Cubs system. He led Single-A Eugene to the 2018 Northwest League championship in his first career managerial or coaching stint. He played 13 minor league seasons from 2004-16 and appeared in nine major league games with the Phillies in 2012-13. Buddy Bailey enters his second season as manager at Single-A South Bend following three campaigns as manager for Myrtle Beach. He begins his 32nd season as a minor league manager with 2,140 regular season victories, and in 2017 became just the 11th minor league manager to reach the 2,000-win plateau. Lance Rymel is in his fifth season as a coach or manager in the Cubs organization, and his second as manager for Single-A Eugene, after two seasons managing the Dominican Summer League squads in 2017-18. He began his coaching career in 2016 as Mesa’s rehab coach following a three-year minor league playing career as a catcher in the Cubs chain from 2012-14. Carmelo Martinez is in his 23rd season in the Cubs organization, and returns to manage the Rookie League Cubs Blue squad, his sixth-straight year as a manager at that level. He guided the 2018 Mesa Cubs to the top record in the Arizona League (38-18). Martinez is a former outfielder/first baseman who played in the majors from 1983-91, seeing action with the Cubs in 1983. Jimmy Gonzalez is in his seventh season as manager in the Cubs organization and will manage the Rookie League Cubs Red team, returning to manage at that level (also 2014). He managed Double-A Tennessee in 2019 following four seasons at the helm of Single-A South Bend. He was named the 2016 Midwest League Manager of the Year. Carlos Ramirez will manage the Dominican Summer League Cubs Blue team, his second-straight season as a manager for a DSL club, and is in his fifth season with the organization. He was a coach for the Dominican League club the previous three years following three seasons as a catcher in the system from 2012-14. Leo Perez returns to manage the Dominican Summer League Cubs Red squad, and is in his 12th season in the organization. He served as a coach in Mesa in 2017-18 and was a coach with Iowa in 2016. He played in the Cubs farm system from 2003-08. - CUBS - CHICAGO CUBS MEDIA RELATIONS DEPARTMENT Phone: 773-404-CUBS Fax: 773-404-4129 Internet: www.cubs.com Twitter: @Cubs .

    TRIPLE-A BASEBALL NEWS RELEASE June 14, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIELD STAFFS ANNOUNCED FOR 2018 TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR GAME Columbus Clippers manager Chris Tremie and Iowa Cubs skipper Marty Pevey have been tabbed the managers of their respective league’s All-Star teams for the 2018 Huntington Bank Triple-A All-Star Game, presented by Gildan. The 31st annual contest will take place at Huntington Park in downtown Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday, July 11 at 7:00 EDT. Having already guided the IL to victory in the Triple-A All-Star Game in 2016, Chris Tremie returns to the event for a chance to manage in front of his home fans in Columbus. Tremie is in his sixth season leading the Clippers. During his time with Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate, Tremie has led the Clippers to a run of three straight division titles (2014-16) which included an International League Governors’ Cup championship in 2015. This marks the fifth time overall a Columbus manager has served in that capacity in the Triple-A All-Star Game, which includes Bucky Dent (1989) and Mike Sarbaugh (2011-12). Tremie will be joined by several familiar faces in the International League dugout as the entire Columbus field staff takes part in the All-Star festivities. Pitching coach Steve Karsay, currently in his third season with the Clippers, played for five Major League teams between 1993 and 2006. Johnny Narron and Bobby Magallanes are each in their first year as a member of the Clippers staff as hitting coach and bench coach, respectively.

  • 2021 SWB Railriders Media Guide
    2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.

  • December 18, 2014 Espnchicago.Com Cubs Trade
    December 18, 2014 ESPNChicago.com Cubs trade Justin Ruggiano to Seattle By Jesse Rogers CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs traded outfielder Justin Ruggiano to the Seattle Mariners for minor league pitcher Matt Brazis, the team announced Wednesday. Brazis, 25, is 8-6 with a 2.89 ERA in 100 minor league relief appearances since being drafted in the 28th round by Seattle in 2012. He finished last season at Double-A and struck out 84 while walking only 18 in 72 innings pitched last year. In the short term the move opens a 40-man roster spot for pitcher Jason Motte, who agreed to terms with the Cubs this week, though they haven’t made the signing official yet. In the longer term the Cubs now have a need for a right-handed hitter who could share time in left field with Chris Coghlan. A trade for an impact player like Justin Upton of the Atlanta Braves is unlikely, which leaves the Cubs filling the need with a role player. Jonny Gomes has drawn interest and the Ruggiano move could pave the way for his signing. The Cubs want leadership in the clubhouse and Gomes has a history with new manager Joe Maddon, having played for him after Maddon took over the Tampa Bay Rays in 2006. Gomes won a World Series ring with the Boston Red Sox in 2013. The Cubs still have righties Junior Lake and Matt Szczur on their 40-man roster, but the front office has expressed a need for veteran leadership which would come from outside the organization at this point.
