"The Rays announced the hiring of former All-Star Corey Dickerson as first base coach. It's the first big league coaching job for the 36-year-old, who last played in the majors two years ago. Former first base coach Michael Johns took the bench coach job with the Nationals in November. Dickerson played two seasons under skipper Kevin Cash in Tampa Bay, who acquired him in a 2016 deal that sent then-prospect Germán Márquez to the Rockies."
"He combined for a .265/.310/.480 batting line in 298 games with the Rays, earning the aforementioned All-Star selection in the '17 season. Tampa Bay traded the left-handed hitter to the Pirates during the 2017-18 offseason. Dickerson hit .300 and won a Gold Glove during his first year in Pittsburgh. Traded to the Phillies at the 2019 deadline, Dickerson then bounced around as a bench bat and wound up playing for four more teams."
