After leaving the Atlanta system, Chiti also played in the Orioles' organization in 1981 before retiring as a player.

After serving as a special assistant to the general manager in 2002-2003, the next two years he served as director of player personnel. 2006 marked his first season as the Rangers bullpen coach.

Washington kept Chiti as the bullpen coach, as well hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo and pitching coach Mark Connor. Former Oakland manager Art Howe joined the staff as bench coach, although his contract was not renewed at the end of the disappointing 2008 season.
