The Pittsburgh Pirates today named Jim Tracy the 37th Manager in club history.
Tracy compiled a 427-383 record in five seasons as Manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers. His teams won at least 85 games in each of his first four seasons, and he led the Dodgers to a National League West title in 2004.
"With his experience and winning record as a Major League manager, we feel Jim Tracy is the perfect fit to manage our team," said Pirates General Manager Dave Littlefield.
Tracy and Pirates General Manager Dave Littlefield worked together with the Montreal Expos in the 1990s when Tracy was the team's Bench Coach and Littlefield was the Director of Player Development.
