"He has spent the past two years as the first base coach for the White Sox. When Bourgeois was hired going into 2024, Pedro Grifol was the skipper. Grifol was fired before that season was over. Grady Sizemore took over on an interim basis before Will Venable got the job in 2025. The Sox retained most of the coaching staff in Venable's first year but the club announced multiple changes in September, with Bourgeois among the many coaches not being brought back."
"The Orioles are going to hire Jason Bourgeois as their new first base coach. Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner was first to report the news. He will replace Anthony Sanders, who was plucked away by the Tigers last week. Bourgeois, 43, played in the majors from 2008 to 2015. He continued playing in the minors leagues and in Mexico through 2018. He then pivoted to coaching, starting in the Dodgers' minor league system in 2019."
Jason Bourgeois will join the Orioles as their new first base coach, replacing Anthony Sanders. Bourgeois played in the majors from 2008 to 2015, continued in the minors and Mexico through 2018, and began coaching in the Dodgers' minor league system in 2019. He served as first base coach for the White Sox for two seasons but was not retained after multiple coaching changes. Bourgeois and new Orioles manager Craig Albernaz were teammates at Triple-A Durham in 2013. Several Orioles coaching positions remain open, including bench coach and assistant hitting coaches, and uncertainty surrounds the third base coach role.
