"Henley (who turns 53 in January) has spent almost his entire baseball career in the Expos/Nationals organization, save for a single game with the Pirates' A-level affiliate in 2002. Selected by Montreal in the 26th round of 1991 draft, Henley spent his first seven pro seasons as a player in the Expos' farm system, and his only 41 career MLB games came in a Montreal uniform in 1998."
"Promoted to the third base coach job for the start of the 2014 season, Henley spent the next eight seasons in the role, before moving into a player development job at the conclusion of the 2021 campaign. Henley made a brief return to the coaching staff as a Major League field coordinator last July, as the Nationals had to make some alterations to the staff once Davey Martinez was fired as manager."
"Stammen pitched with the Nationals from 2009-15, so there's plenty of familiarity between the Padres skipper and his new third base coach. Plawecki is also a known quantity to Stammen from their shared time working in San Diego, and Plawecki's brief time as a player in the Padres' minor league system. Goins has no past ties to Stammen or the Padres, but he is no stranger to SoCal, after working on the Angels' coaching staff for the last two seasons."
The Padres will hire Bob Henley as third base coach, Goins as infield coach, and Kevin Plawecki as big league catching coach, with David Macias returning as first base coach. Henley spent most of his playing and coaching career in the Expos/Nationals system, was a 1991 draft pick, played 41 MLB games in 1998, and later served eight seasons as Nationals third base coach before moving into player development and briefly returning as Major League field coordinator last July. Stammen has prior familiarity with Henley and with Plawecki from San Diego. Goins worked on the Angels' staff the last two seasons and has no past ties to Stammen or the Padres.
