The Toronto Blue Jays suddenly have another coaching vacancy to fill. According to The Athletic’s Mitch Bannon, assistant hitting coach Hunter Mense is set to depart the organization this off-season to become the San Francisco Giants’ lead hitting coach under first-year manager Tony Vitello.
It was only yesterday that Buster Posey indicated Tony Vitello’s new coaching staff was “still very much a work in progress,” and yet here we are about 24 hours later and one of the key roles has been seemingly cemented.
