PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The last-place Washington Nationals fired five coaches on Sunday, a complete overhaul of manager Manny Acta’s staff going into the 2009 season.
Bench coach Pat Corrales, base coaches Tim Tolman and Jerry Morales, bullpen coach Rick Aponte and hitting coach Lenny Harris were all told before Sunday’s game against Philadelphia they would not return.
Only pitching coach Randy St. Claire kept his job.
Strength and conditioning coach Kazuhiko Tomooka also will not return in 2009.
