Things have been so slow on the minor- and major-league fronts that both MASN and WaPo covered the release of the 2017 coaching staffs.
TL;DR Everybody’s staying put.
Well, not entirely, but with Washington being a football town (sorry, but a real baseball town wouldn’t make comments like these) we’re told about the team’s personal trainers strength and conditioning coaches, who did shuffle around.
However, the primary trio of manager, pitching coach, and hitting coach will remain the same:
| Affiliate | Manager | Pitching Coach | Hitting Coach |
| Syracuse | Billy Gardner, Jr. | Bob Milacki | Brian Daubach |
| Harrisburg | Matthew LeCroy | Chris Michalak | Brian Rupp |
| Potomac | Tripp Keister | Franklin Bravo | Luis Ordaz |
| Hagerstown | Patrick Anderson | Sam Narron | Amaury Garcia |
| Auburn | Jerad Head | Tim Redding | Mark Harris |
| GCL | Josh Johnson | Michael Tejera | Jorge Mejia |
| DSL | Sandy Martinez | Pablo Frias | Jose Herrera |
Given the lackluster results last summer at the top and the bottom of the organizational ladder, there may be some folks who are a little surprised there were no changes. But, as noted a year ago, the front office insisted it wanted continuity after pulling the plug on the Matt Williams debacle, and this is consistent with that claim.
