NEW YORK -- The Yankees are preparing to search for their third hitting coach in three seasons, having parted ways with Jeff Pentland, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Pentland, 69, said that general manager Brian Cashman informed him this week that he would not be returning.
"I am not coming back," Pentland told the newspaper. "When I signed, I was told it was probably a one-year deal. That was always in the back of my mind, but we didn't look too good the last month. It's the Yankees, that's the best way to describe it. I have no regrets.
