"The Braves on Friday announced the hiring of former Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino as their new third base coach. He'll take over for Fredi Gonzalez, whose departure from the staff was reported earlier in the week. Atlanta also hired former Giants pitching coach J.P. Martinez - not to be confused with the former Braves outfielder of the same name - as their new bullpen coach."
"The 43-year-old Mansolino took over for O's skipper Brandon Hyde after Baltimore dismissed him back in mid-May. He'd been Hyde's third base coach prior to that appointment - a role he'd held dating back to the 2021 season. Mansolino was previously a hitting coach and infield coordinator in Cleveland prior to being hired in Baltimore. A 26th-round pick by the Pirates back in 2005, he played professional from 2005-10 as an infielder Pittsburgh's system and later on the independent circuit."
"Martinez, also 43, was San Francisco's pitching coach in 2025 and an assistant pitching coach with the Giants from 2021-24. He broke into the coaching ranks in the low levels of the Twins' system back in 2015. He served as a pitching coach with Minnesota's Rookie-level and High-A affiliates before being named the organization's overall minor league pitching coordinator in 2018 - a role he held until being hired by the Giants in the 2020-21 offseason."
The Atlanta Braves hired Tony Mansolino as third base coach and J.P. Martinez as bullpen coach, with Fredi Gonzalez departing the staff. Mansolino, 43, served as Baltimore's interim manager after Brandon Hyde was dismissed in mid-May and had been Hyde's third base coach since 2021. Mansolino previously worked as a hitting coach and infield coordinator in Cleveland and played professionally from 2005–10 after being a 26th-round Pirates draft pick. Mansolino led the Orioles to a 60-59 record as interim, though Baltimore finished 75-87. Martinez, 43, served as San Francisco's pitching coach in 2025 and held multiple Twins and Giants coaching roles since 2015.
