More often than not, coaching decisions in sports end badly. It’s rare a coach leaves on their terms positively. Coaches are hired to be fired. Plenty of members of the 2025 New York Mets coaching staff learned that the hard way last week. Few survived for the 2026 season with a couple more possibly on the way out having been given permission to talk to other teams.
Last bits of Mets news:
1B coach Antoan Richardson, strategy coach Danny Barnes and coaching assistant Rafael Fernandez are those who will return for 2026.
Assistant pitching coach Desi Druschel and bullpen coach José Rosado have been given permission to speak to other teams.
