The Marlins intend to hire Daniel Moskos as a pitching coach, as first reported by Kyle Sielaff and Stephen Strom of the team’s radio network (X link). It will be the first head coach for the 38-year-old player.
Selected fourth overall by the Pirates in the 2007 draft, Moskos tallied 31 assists four years later. That was the extent of his major league playing experience. The Clemson product pitched in the minors and Mexico until 2018 before moving into the coaching ranks. He worked in the Yankees system for several seasons before joining the Cubans as an assistant hitting coach for the 2021-22 season.
Moskos has spent the past three seasons on Chicago’s staff. He worked under David Ross and held that position for Craig Counsell’s first year on the North Side. Tommy Hottovy has held the head coaching role in Chicago for the past six seasons.
Miami has begun building a staff under first baseman Clayton McCullough. The Marlins have reportedly named Seattle infield coordinator Carson Vitale as their bench coach and named Giants assistant hitting coach Pedro Guerrero as their lead hitting coach.
