Former Minnesota Twins bench coach Derek Shelton was named as the new manager of the Pirates on November 27. Shelton has served in varying coaching capacities in the MLB since 2005, but this will be his first managerial position. He takes over from Clint Hurdle, who was fired in September after leading Pittsburgh to its worst record (69-93) since 2010.
In addition to his role with the Twins, Shelton worked as a hitting coach for seven and four years, respectively, with the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians. He also spent one season as a quality control coach for the Toronto Blue Jays, where he worked alongside Ben Cherington, who was hired as new general manager of the Pirates earlier in the month. Pittsburgh also hired a new president, Travis Williams, in October.
