Aaron Bates Under Consideration For Yankees Hitting Coach Role
The Los Angeles Dodgers coaching staff underwent a surprising change earlier this month with news of Aaron Bates not returning in his role as co-hitting coach.
Bates turned down a multi-year contract offer from the Dodgers that he deemed noncompetitive, but he did not anticipate that marking the end of negotiations. Bates further revealed he had quickly been contacted by other teams to gauge his interest in joining their respective staffs.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the New York Yankees are considering Bates for their hitting coach role.
