Dave Eiland, who parted ways with the Royals last week, could be a fit to replace Dan Warthen as the next Mets pitching coach, surmises Joel Sherman of the NY Post.
Sherman notes the relationship Eiland has with Kevin Long, who will be on the Mets' staff in 2018.
"You are not wrong at all. That is very accurate," Eiland told Sherman about his strong relationship with Long.
The 51-year-old Eiland, who had been the Royals' pitching coach since 2011, said he wants to continue being a pitching coach, and that it was simply time to move on.
