Loretta was an infielder for the Padres from 2003-05, earning an All-Star selection and a Silver Slugger Award in 2004. He also worked in the Padres' front office prior to being named the Cubs' bench coach in January. While there is no word yet on who will make up new Cubs manager David Ross' staff, it is likely that Loretta, should he not be hired as a manager by another club, and other members of the current coaching staff will remain with the Cubs franchise.
