The Yankees have a new pitching coach — and their old one has a new job.
A day after sources said the Yankees hired Matt Blake to run their staff, Larry Rothschild landed in San Diego, a source confirmed Friday.
Rothschild had been the Yankees’ pitching coach since 2011, but was not brought back with a year remaining on his contract. While there were indications Rothschild might join ex-Yankee manager Joe Girardi with the Phillies, Rothschild ended up not interviewing for the position.
He’ll now go to the Padres, where he’ll replace Darren Balsley.
