POSTED: 9:25 am PDT September 30, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays will be bringing back their entire coaching staff for the 2009 season.

The Blue Jays agreed to two-year contract extensions with pitching coach Brad Arnsberg, bench coach Brian Butterfield, third base coach Nick Leyva, first base coach Dwayne Murphy, hitting coach Gene Tenace and bullpen coach Bruce Walton on Tuesday.

Manager Cito Gaston, who led Toronto to a 51-37 record after replacing John Gibbons on June 20, signed a two-year extension last week.

Leyva, Murphy and Tenace were brought in with Gaston, while Arnsberg, Butterfield and Walton were kept on from Gibbons' staff.
