former Pirates first base coach Carlos Garcia.

Dean Treanor, formerly the pitching coach, moves up to manager of Triple-A Indianapolis.

Frank Kremblas, who previously managed Indianapolis, replaces Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister as the organization’s coordinator of instruction.

Dave Turgeon, previously the pitching coach at Virginia Tech, will manage Class A State College.

Gary Robinson, State College’s manager last season, moves up to Class A West Virginia.
