According to a report filed by George King and Joel Sherman of the New York Post, former Met Dave Magadan has been contacted by both the Mets and Yankees about their vacant hitting coach positions.
When asked about the Yankee position, Magadan said this: “I have been called about that, it’s in the preliminary stages and that’s all I can say about it.” When he was asked about the Mets, he said, “Same thing, preliminary phone calls to see if I had interest.’’
The current Rangers hitting coach is under contract through 2015 but because of the ongoing manager search, all of the coaches are being granted the opportunity to search for other opportunities. “They are letting all their coaches, under contract or not, talk to other teams because of the manager situation,’’ Magadan said.
