A’s manager Mark Kotsay will work on the American League All-Star team staff on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.Athletics manager Mark Kotsay, who played for Bruce Bochy with the San Diego Padres from 2001-03, will serve as a coach on his staff for the 2024 All-Star Game on July 16 at Globe Light Field in Texas.
“He asked me if I’d be interested in joining him for the game and be on his staff,” Kotsay told reporters Tuesday before the A’s faced the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. “I had to check with my wife. I was pretty positive we had something planed. But there’s nothing better than being able to be part of his staff, an honor really to enjoy the summer classic.
A veteran of 17 years as a player, Kotsay never made an All-Star team although he had some excellent years. He had probably his best seasons with the A’s in 2004 and 2005, hitting .314 and .280 with 15 homers each season and RBI totals of 63 and 82.
