over the winter with one eye on keeping the coaching staff intact and the other on his managerial aspirations.
Chavez’s relationship with Eppler dates to 2011 when Eppler was working in the Yankees’ front office and Chavez played for the team. After Chavez’s retirement as a player, the two reconnected with the Angels, where Eppler had become GM and was looking to hire a manager. Chavez interviewed for the job that went to Brad Ausmus and ultimately took an advisory position with the team.
Chavez, as the hitting coach, was heavily involved in the game planning last season, and that workload is increasing in his new role. Most notably, he will now have a louder voice in lineup construction.Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Eppler is quick to credit Sherlock for agreeing to move from bench coach so the pieces would fit on the staff. Sherlock was rewarded for the move, according to a source, by receiving a contract extension beyond this season.
