Yankees to announce new bench, third base coaches
New Yankees manager Aaron Boone.(Mike Stobe | Getty)LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- That was quick.
The Yankees will name Josh Bard as bench coach and Phil Nevin as third base coach Monday, according to a pair of sources with knowledge of the team's personnel decisions. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the news hadn't been announced publicly.
Bard, 38, spent the last two years as the Dodgers' bullpen coach and the previous three years as a scout and a special assistant. He was teammates with Boone with the Indians in 2005.
Since his retirement, Nevin, 46, has managed in independent ball, Double-A, Triple-A and was the Giants' third-base coach in 2017.
