[edit] Biographical Information
After playing college baseball at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, pitcher Dean Treanor spent 1975-1988 as a police officer, undercover narcotics agent, and investigator in San Luis Obispo, California.
His bio on the Albuquerque Isotopes website claimed that he was signed by the Cincinnati Reds in 1971 and made it as far as AA in 1975 before retiring with a shoulder injury but there does not appear to be any record of him pitching in the minors except for a couple appearances on the hill during his managerial career in the 80s and 90s so this might be either an error on the website or resume inflation. There is no evidence to support this claim on the Isotopes website as the Baseball Guides of the era do not list Treanor as playing nor does Pat Doyle's Professional Baseball Player Database.
In 1988, he returned to baseball as skipper of the Fresno Suns of the California League and led the team to a 53-89 record. He spent the next several years as a minor league manager and coach in the Cleveland Indians system. He later spent time coaching in the San Diego Padres (1992-1995), Montreal Expos (1996-1998), and Los Angeles Dodgers (pitching coach 1999-2000 Albuquerque Dukes and 2001 Las Vegas 51s) organizations.
In 2002, Treanor joined the Florida Marlins organization as manager of the Calgary Cannons of the Pacific Coast League, and he remained with the club when they moved and became the Albuquerque Isotopes the following year. In 2004, he was a minor league pitching coach in the Marlins organization before guiding the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League that season. He began a second stint as the Isotopes skipper in 2005.
