At long last, the Yankees announced their new coaching staff earlier today. There are no surprises. Names leaked out throughout the offseason — Aaron Boone also confirmed a bunch of coaching hires at the Winter Meetings — but now they are official. Officially official.
Boone’s coaching staff includes three holdovers from the Joe Girardi years. Larry Rothschild is back as pitching coach and Mike Harkey is back as bullpen coach, and Marcus Thames has been promoted from assistant hitting coach to hitting coach. Rothschild has been with the Yankees since 2011 and Harkey is in his second stint with the team (2008-13, 2016-present).
