The Blue Jays have hired DeMarlo Hale as an associate manager.
The Blue Jays already have a bench coach in Don Mattingly, so they created a new title for Hale, one that will probably come with similar responsibilities. It’s Hale’s second go with the Blue Jays, having previously served as their bench coach from 2013-18. He spent the last three years as the Guardians’ bench coach.
