Sofield is out. Leyva reassigned to an advisor.

Changes are being made.

That's a surprise. I thought they'd decided to keep everyone. But I think it has to be good news for base running. I thought he was terrible two years ago, then decided I didn't know the whole story when I saw he was being considered by the Padres as manager. My faith in my eyesight has been slightly restored.

Sofield can still be a future Manager. He just wasn't very good at coaching third.

I am going to guess that Joey Cora will be named one of the new Pirate coaches. Cora managed the Curve team this past season so he is already a part of the organization. I think Cora did coach third base under Ozzie Guillen a few years ago.

Maybe. But he sometimes displayed such incredibly poor judgment as a coach that it makes me wonder if his judgment in general is not right for a manager.

According to Pirate Prospects Joey Cora will be named the new Bucs third base coach. That was a lucky guess on my part. I did think the Pirates were very happy with Cora as the Curve manager this past season.

PPG is also reporting it.

any rumors about who the first base coach will be?
