CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Andy Tracy, who played parts of five seasons in the big leagues as an infielder, will replace Tony Mansolino as manager at Class AAA Columbus for the 2020 season.

This is Tracy’s second year in the the Indians’ system. He was the hitting coach at Columbus last season when the Clippers won the International League’s Governor’s Cup for the 11th time. Tracy and Rouglas Odor, who managed Class AA Akron last season, were finalists for the job.

Tracy played in the big leagues with Montreal, Colorado and the Phillies. He spent six years as the Phillies’ minor-league hitting coordinator before joining the Indians in 2019. He played 16 years as a professional.

This will be Tracy’s second managerial job. He managed Philadelphia’s Class A Williamsport team in 2012.

Mansolino, after spending nine years as a manager or coach in the Indians’ minor-league system, will work on the defensive side of the Tribe’s player development program.
