"Desi Druschel is returning to the Yankees as an assistant to pitching coach Matt Blake, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports. He worked in that same capacity during the 2022-24 seasons, and is now back in the Bronx after a one-year sojourn across town as an assistant pitching coach with the Mets. Druschel wasn't fired by the Mets, but Passan writes that the team gave him permission to speak with other teams about jobs."
"The Mets' coaching staff has already undergone quite an overhaul in the month since the team's disappointing season came to an end. Druschel joins bench coach John Gibbons, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes, infield coach Mike Sarbaugh, and retiring catching instructor Glenn Sherlock as members of the 2025 staff who won't be returning in 2026."
Either Claiborne or Druschel will be the Yankees' new bullpen coach. Desi Druschel is returning to the Yankees as an assistant to pitching coach Matt Blake after a one-year stint with the Mets. Druschel previously served in that same capacity during the 2022-24 seasons before moving across town to serve as an assistant pitching coach with the Mets. The Mets granted Druschel permission to speak with other teams rather than firing him. The Mets have overhauled their coaching staff after a disappointing season, used 46 pitchers in 2025, and finished with a 4.04 team ERA.
