Dan Warthen will not be retained as Mets pitching coach next season, and has been offered another role in the organization, the team announced Tuesday.
The Mets had been expected to part ways with Warthen.
Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard twice came out in support of Warthen, and said on Sunday that the uncertainty surrounding Warthen's job was 'BS.'
The Mets hired Warthen during June, 2008, after Rick Peterson was let go as the team's pitching coach. Prior to joining the Mets, he had been a bullpen coach for the Dodgers, and a minor league instructor and pitching coach for the Tigers, Padres and Mariners.
