Royals notebook: Marlins assistant Foster to replace Mizerock in bullpen

Steve Foster is joining the Royals as the new bullpen coach after spending the past three years in that role for the Florida Marlins. He replaces John Mizerock, who was fired after the season. All other members of manager Trey Hillman’s staff were previously retained, although special-assignment coach Eddie Rodriguez became the first-base coach when Rusty Kuntz became a minor-league instructor.
