Davey Lopes Tells Phils He Won't Return As Coach
Davey Lopes has informed the Philadelphia Phillies he won't return as first-base coach, the team says.
Lopes spent the last four seasons with the Phillies, and played a significant role in the team's success in stealing bases. Under Lopes, the Phillies led the league in stolen-base percentage four straight seasons.
Lopes was a four-time All-Star second baseman with the Los Angeles Dodgers during a 16-year career. He also managed the Milwaukee Brewers for two years and parts of another.
