It appears to me that the coaches were let go because of the losing record 64/78, the worst in 10 years in the franchises AAA history.

TPM, you may be right. If, however, that is indeed the worst record in 10 years, maybe they should be managing the DRays in Tampa since that would be one of the best records in Tampa in the last 10 years????

On the other hand, minor league coaches generally are told who to play and the issue isn't winning/losing, it is developing players and getting them so they are capable to move to the next level.

I would guess the DRays decided to start over with a "clean slate". It seems so unfortunate though that the players who caused the disruption get "rewarded" and the coaches get released. While my sympathies are for the minor league players, this type of issue certainly tested that view, assuming the coaches put in the time/effort/dedication as it seems so many minor league coaches do.
