Overview
- San Diego confirmed Wednesday that Bud Black is senior adviser to baseball operations and Wil Myers is a special assignment coach in player development.
- Black managed the Padres from 2007 to 2015, won the 2010 NL Manager of the Year award, and went 649-713 as the franchise's second-winningest skipper.
- He later managed the Rockies from 2017 until May 2025, when he was fired after a 7-33 start.
- Myers played eight seasons for San Diego, batting .254 with 134 home runs and 433 RBIs, won the 2013 AL Rookie of the Year, and last appeared with Cincinnati in 2023 without formally retiring.
- The moves follow the club's managerial shift three months ago, when former reliever Craig Stammen replaced Mike Shildt after a Wild Card Series loss to the Cubs.
