One week after manager Derek Shelton, the Pirates have announced further changes to the coaching staff. Pittsburgh is bringing former manager Gene Lamont back to the organization to serve as a special advisor to newly tabbed manager Don Kelly. Triple-A manager Chris Truby is also being promoted to the big league staff and will hold the generic title of major league coach as well. Truby, 51, appeared in parts of four major league seasons as an infielder. From 2000-03, he suited up for the Astros Jake Cousins Jersey , Expos, Tigers and Devil Rays, playing in 263 big league contests. He played in parts of 15 minor league campaigns and finished his playing career with the Pirates in a 2007 season split between their Double-A and Triple-A levels. He began his coaching career shortly thereafter, taking a minor league role within the Pirates system. Hes since managed multiple minor league affiliates with the Phillies but returned to the Pirates in 2022. Minor league field coordinator and a sistant director of coaching and player development Shawn Bowman will step in as the new Triple-A skipper in place of Truby. The 78-year-old Lamont has spent eight years as a major league manager and a couple decades on big league coaching staffs. He helmed the White Sox from 1992-95 and the Pirates from 1997-2000. Hes served as a third base coach in the major leagues and was also the bench coach for both Jim Leyland and Brad Ausmus in Detroit. With eight years of MLB managerial experience including 1993 AL Manager of the Year honors and a 23-year coaching career on top of that, hell bring more than three decades of dugout experience to help Kelly acclimate to his new role. Beyond the new additions. third base coach Mike Rabelo will expand his role on the bench and contribute to game-planning and in-game strategy. It seems hell pick up at least a portion of the duties held by now-former game-planning coach Radley Haddad, at the same time as Shelton. Scott Effross Jersey
