Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/01/2011 (5534 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Goldeyes made franchise history this morning with the announcement that Fish first base coach Rudy Arias will be joining the Baltimore Orioles coaching staff for the 2011 season.
The move marks the first time in team history that a member of the Goldeyes has gone directly from Winnipeg to the Major Leagues.
Arias, 53, spent the past three seasons with the Fish and will be going to Baltimore to throw batting practice, catch bullpen sessions, take on some administrative roles and serve as the club’s only Spanish-speaking coach.
“This was a really difficult decision for me. The Goldeyes have been a big part of my life for the past three years,” Arias said in a statement released by the team Tuesday morning. “Everybody treated me like I was in the Major Leagues and I will miss all the people in Winnipeg.”
Arias previously worked on the O’s coaching staff from 1997-2007. He also won a World Series as the bullpen coach for the New York Yankees in 1996.
Goldeyes general manager Andrew Collier said Tuesday morning that the team only learned of Arias’s departure “in the past few days” and a search for a replacement is now underway.
“It’s going to be hard to fill that role and find a replacement for a coach who had all that major league experience and was a World Series champion,” Collier said.
