Tommy Joseph among 3 former Phillies hired as coach by St. Lucie Mets

Former Philadelphia Phillies general manager Rubén Amaro Jr. should be proud of the coaching staff that the St. Lucie Mets have put together, being that it features three players that he once acquired.

Michael Mayer of Metsmerized notes that Low-A affiliate of the New York Mets has a four-person coaching staff for the 2021 season, one that features three former Phillies.

Reid Brignac – who spent the 2014 season with the Phillies and their Triple-A affiliates, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs – will manage the team. Brignac’s 37 games with the Phillies weren’t especially memorable, though he did hit a walk-off single against the Mets on May 30, 2014.
