“Eddie is a great coach, mentor and friend to many within our organization,” said Brewers President of Baseball Operations David Stearns. “During a coaching career that spanned three decades, Eddie cemented his status as one of the most popular coaches in baseball and made his mark on some of the best teams in franchise history. On behalf of the entire organization, I thank him for his contributions and loyalty. I wish him and his family a happy retirement.”
