"As for Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann, his candidacy has seemingly strengthened over the past couple weeks. Lehmann was Los Angeles' advance video scout when Anthopoulos was with the Dodgers from 2016-17. The two have remained in contact over the years that have followed. With the Dodgers set to begin their World Series battle against the Blue Jays on Friday, Lehmann's candidacy could lead to the Braves waiting into November before announcing their next manager."
"Lehmann's path to the Dodgers has been an interesting one. The 40-year-old was drafted by the Minnesota Twins out of Rice University in 2007. After a handful of years toiling around in the minor leagues, Lehmann turned to coaching - where he's been with the Dodgers since 2015. Lehmann has made his way up the ladder first joining the franchise as a video scout. From there, he became a Game Planning and Communications coach."
The Los Angeles Dodgers are widely regarded as a gold-standard franchise in baseball, prompting other teams to pursue personnel from the organization. Danny Lehmann has become a prominent managerial candidate for the Atlanta Braves following Brian Snitker’s departure, aided by a prior working relationship with Alex Anthopoulos from 2016-17. Lehmann transitioned from playing in the minors to coaching and has been with the Dodgers since 2015, progressing from advance video scout to Game Planning and Communications coach and then to bench coach. His close in-game support of manager Dave Roberts underscores his trusted role within the Dodgers’ staff.
