Two heads are better than one. Two is one and one is none. Two are better than one if two act as one. Whichever phrase is your favorite, it didn’t exactly work out for the New York Mets hitting coaches in 2025.

While ex-pitching coach Jeremy Hefner was quickly hired by the Atlanta Braves and first base coach Antoan Richardson joined him for the same role, Chavez and Barnes remained unemployed until today. Barnes is joining the Washington Nationals.
