When Billy Martin got his first managing job with the Minnesota Twins in 1969 he named Silvera his bullpen coach and he rejoined Martin with the Detroit Tigers from 1971 to 1973 and the Texas Rangers in 1974 and 1975.
In later years he scouted for a number of teams, including the Cubs and the Marlins. He received his seventh World Championship ring as a scout for the Marlins in 1997.
Silvera died at age 94 on September 7, 2019. He was the last survivor among the players who appeared with all five Yankee World Series winning teams from 1949 to 1953.
