Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen’s job shouldn’t be safe
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson gave a vote of confidence to his pitching coach on Wednesday when he said Dan Warthen‘s job was safe.
“He’s part of the solution,” Alderson was quoted in L.A. during the Mets’ 4-game visit. “He’s part of the group of people, including the pitchers, as well as the coaching staff, who are trying to figure out how to get this staff back to where we expected it to be.”
Warthen is currently the longest-tenured coach on the Mets’ staff. He was hired nine years ago when the team parted ways with Rick Peterson when Willie Randolph was fired. He managed under Jerry Manuel and has stayed on board throughout Terry Collins‘ time in Queens.
