In a nod to their organization-wide success over the past two years, the Cubs on Friday unveiled a list of Minor League managers, coaches and staff with only a handful of changes.
All of the managers at the Cubs' top six affiliates will return to their posts in 2017, including Triple-A skipper Marty Pevey, who is back for a fifth season. The top newcomer to the organization is Double-A Tennessee hitting coach Jacob Cruz, who spent the past six seasons in similar roles in Arizona's farm system.
Here are the staffs for each club:

Nichols is entering his second season as the team's pitching coach after three years as the Phillies' Major League bullpen coach.
