Three members of the A's coaching staff will not be returning next season.
Bench coach Bob Schaefer, third base coach Rene Lachemann and bullpen coach Brad Fischer will not have their contracts renewed, according to a team release Saturday.
Fischer and Lachemann were holdovers from former manager Ken Macha's staff, while Schaefer was brought in before this past season by first-year manager Bob Geren.
"I got hired late in the offseason last year," Geren said. "This is the first time I've got an opportunity to pick my own staff. I wanted a chance to bring in a couple of my own people."
