MILWAUKEE — Longtime coach Ed Sedar announced his retirement Monday after a 30-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers. 

Sedar was on the Major League coaching staff from 2007 to 2020. This past year he served as an advisor to the Major League coaching staff. From 2007-10 Sedar coached first base and from 2011-20 he served as third base coach. 

“It’s been a great ride,” said Sedar. “Being able to spend 30 years with one organization is something I will always cherish. I appreciate everyone who has been there for me and helped along the way. I wish the organization the best going forward. They are in great hands. Most of all, I will miss the best fans in sports.”

“Eddie is a great coach, mentor and friend to many within our organization,” said Brewers President of Baseball Operations David Stearns. “During a coaching career that spanned three decades, Eddie cemented his status as one of the most popular coaches in baseball and made his mark on some of the best teams in franchise history. On behalf of the entire organization, I thank him for his contributions and loyalty. I wish him and his family a happy retirement.”

Sedar, the Illinois native, played eight Minor League seasons in the White Sox organization from 1981-88.
