The Cubs on Monday announced their 2022 coaching staffs for their six minor league affiliates, from Triple-A to the Dominican Summer League.
Although big-league spring training is facing a delay due to MLB's lockout, minor league camps are scheduled to open in the coming weeks, with the regular season set to begin the first week of April.
A look at each affiliate's manager:
Triple-A Iowa: Marty Pevey returns for his 14th season in the Cubs organization and 10th as Iowa Cubs manager. He's the longest-tenured manager in Iowa franchise history, and his 530 wins are also a franchise record.
Double-A Tennessee: Michael Ryan enters his first season managing the Smokies after serving as Single-A South Bend's manager last season. He previously spent seven seasons managing in the Pirates farm system.
High-A South Bend: Lance Rymel takes over as South Bend's manager after leading the Rookie League Cubs in 2021. He's entering his seventh season in the Cubs organization and previously managed Single-A Eugene (2019) and the Dominican Summer League Cubs (2017-18).
