Other staff issues:

David Popkins was fired as Twins HC this offseason. Matt Borgschulte was brought over from Baltimore to replace him. Cody Asche (not added as a coach) will be the new O's HC.

Guillermo Martinez was fired as Toronto HC as well. Replacing him will be... David Popkins.

Ex-DBacks 3BC Tony Perezchica is the new 3BC for the Astros, replacing Gary Pettis. Shaun Larkin will be the new DBacks 3BC.

Andy Fox was not retained as Red Sox 1BC. Jose Flores (not added as a coach, born 1/1/1971, BBRef ID: flores003jos) will be his replacement. (Note: the game currently has him listed as being born in America with no city of birth given, but he's actually Puerto Rican, born in Cidra.)

White Sox stuff: Eddie Rodriguez and Charlie Montoyo are long gone; I think both were fired at the same time Grifol was. Justin Jirschele was promoted from managing AAA Charlotte to be the new 3BC, and Walker McKinven (not in the game at all) was hired as the new bench coach.

Replacing Jirschele in Charlotte is Sergio Santos, formerly at AA Birmingham. I haven't been able to find who Birmingham's new manager will be.

Ex-Cleveland HC Chris Valaika is the new Reds HC. Replacing Valaika for the Guards will be Grant Fink.

Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg is from Upper St. Clair, PA.

Doug Davis should be unretired and added back as manager of AAA Round Rock Express.

Marlins staff shakeup: HC John Mabry, 1BC Jon Jay, and 3BC Griffin Benedict were all let go as part of the house-cleaning at the end of the season. Pedro Guerrero (not added as a coach, born 12/3/1986, BBRef ID: guerre003ped) will be the new hitting coach. Taking over at 3BC will be ex-Reno Aces manager Blake Lalli. Tyler Smarslok (not in the game at all) will be the new 1BC.

Ozzie Timmons was not retained as Brewers HC for 2025. Replacing him is Connor Dawson.

As best I can tell, Oscar Bernard is only the *assistant* Giants hitting coach. Pat Burrell (currently retired) is the lead hitting coach.

Bryan Price resigned as Giants PC in October. Replacing him will be J.P. Martinez (not added as a coach, BBRef ID: martin004jon).
