Last year, Manny Ramirez was a player/hitting coach for the Cubs’ Triple-A team, with an emphasis on the “coach” part. His big league is over, the Cubs said, and they valued him working with younger players.
That experiment was considered a big success by the Cubs, so they have given Manny a more formal position:#Cubs have hired Manny Ramirez as a hitting consultant

According to #Cubs statement, Ramirez will work with Major and Minor League hitters on fundamental and mental aspects of hitting

Ramirez worked with Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler, among others, and those guys are all a big part of the Cubs’ future. It would seem now that Manny is too.
