The Chicago Cubs have named a new hitting coach, as John Mallee's contract has not been renewed.
Chili Davis will be the new hitting coach, while Andy Haines will take over as the assistant hitting coach.
The Cubs also have a new third base coach.
Davis and Butterfield extremely respected in MLB.
Lots of changes to the coaching staff, as the Cubs are still looking for a pitching coach to replace Chris Bosio and bench coach Dave Martinez remains a candidate for the Washington Nationals managerial position.
As for Davis, he was the hitting coach for the Oakland A's from 2012-14, and spent the last three seasons as the Boston Red Sox hitting coach.
