Former longtime major league player John Mabry is in discussions with the Baltimore Orioles to become a senior advisor on the staff of interim manager Tony Mansolino, The Athletic reported Thursday.
Mabry, 54, played for 14 major league seasons for eight clubs, including eight seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also has served as a coach for the Cardinals, Kansas City Royals and most recently the Miami Marlins.
The Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde, as well as field coordinator and catching instructor Tim Cossins on May 17. Baltimore was 15-28 at the time of the dismissals after making consecutive playoff appearances.
In 1,321 career games, Mabry was a career .263 hitter with 96 home runs and 446 RBIs. He made his major league debut in 1994 with the Cardinals and was fourth in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 1995 when he batted .307 in 129 games.
