Immediately following the conclusion of the Yankees‘ season, they fired several coaches, including hitting coach Marcus Thames, assistant hitting coach P.J. Pillitere and third-base coach Phil Nevin. With replacements needed, the Yankees aren’t looking too far from home to discover a supplement, interviewing former Mets skipper Luis Rojas for a base-coach position over the weekend, per The Athletic.
Rojas was released following a disappointing season with the Mets, but he’s highly regarded as a secondary coach and could fit the Yankees’ need quite well. Apparently, he left a good impression after his meeting with management and Aaron Boone.
