NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets are set to hire Gary DiSarcina as their bench coach, rounding out rookie manager Mickey Callaway’s staff.
WFAN baseball insider Jon Heyman confirmed the hire, first reported by the Boston Globe and Fox Sports.
DiSarcina, 49, spent last season as the Red Sox’s bench coach under manager John Farrell, who was fired last month despite leading the team to an American League East title. Prior to last season, DiSarcina spent three years with the Los Angeles Angels, serving as third-base and later first-base coach.
He managed the Single-A Lowell Spinners for three seasons and the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox for one year — both teams are in the Red Sox orginization.
