As the Yankees search for Larry Rothschild’s replacement they haven’t limited the focus to college pitching coaches who have strong analytical backgrounds.
The Yankees contacted David Cone and interviewed him late last week at Yankee Stadium for the position.
“It was all good. I am thankful for the opportunity to talk to them. It was nice they called me in and wanted to talk,’’ Cone told The Post on Tuesday.
Cone, 57 in January, is a former Royals, Mets, Blue Jays, Yankees and Red Sox pitcher who went 194-126 with a 3.46 ERA in 17 big league seasons during a borderline Hall of Fame career in which he was part of four Yankees World Series winners.
