TODAY : The Angels have indeed hired Young, as he confirmed to Alison Mastrangelo of WSB TV ( ). It was a hard decision, and I am definitely going to mi s the [Braves] organization and more importantly the players and fans , Young said. NOVEMBER 11 : Just a few days Yangervis Solarte Jersey after as the clubs new manager, has begun a sembling his coaching staff for the 2024 season, as reports that recently-retired infielder will join the Angels coaching staff as an infield coach. had previously linked Goins to the role. Goins, 35, was a fourth-round pick in the 2009 draft and spent five seasons in Toronto at the major league level from 2013-17. He then spent one season with the Royals before joining the White Sox in 2019. Goins played on the south side of Chicago for two seasons and played what would ultimately be his final game at the big league level during the 2020 season. He continued his career in the minor leagues for the Braves in 2021 and 2022, overlapping with Washingtons time in Atlanta as third base coach. While he signed with the Royals on a minor league deal for the 2023 season, he did not appear in any games before ultimately retiring earlier this offseason. In 555 career games at the big league level, Goins slashed .228/.278/.333 in addition to a scorele s inning of work on the mound back in 2016. He appeared at every position except for catcher and center field throughout his eight seasons in the majors. With his playing career in the rearview mirror, Goins is now poised to tackle the first coaching job of his career under Washington in Anaheim. In doing so, hell been the youth and perspective of a recent player to the staff of Washington, a 71-year-old veteran skipper who last played in the majors in 1989. Though Goins appears to be the only official hire for Washingtons coaching staff at this point, plenty of names have already been mentioned in connection with various roles. In addition to linking Goins to his role as infield coach, Nightengale suggested that former As, Cubs, Red Sox, and Mets hitting coach could join Washingtons staff in that same role, former Rockies and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle could join as bench coach, 19-year MLB veteran could be tapped as first base coach, and Braves first base coach could join the clubs staff as third base coach. Its not yet clear if any of those additional names have been or will be formally hired by the Angels, though confirmed that both Davis and Hurdle are in the mix to join Washingtons staff while cautioning that nothing is official yet. On the other hand, Heyman suggests that Young is planning to join Washingtons staff alongside Goins. Though Hunters candidacy for a coaching role hasnt been corroborated elsewhere, its certainly reasonable to think he could be in the mix for a role given his status as a for the clubs manager seat prior to the hiring of Washington.
