Coaching Notes: Pads, Yanks, Astros, BoSox, Bucs, Mets

By Connor Byrne | October 28, 2017 at 4:57pm CDT

The Padres are set to name Skip Schumaker their first base coach, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune was among those to report (Twitter link). Schumaker, who had been the Padres’ assistant to baseball operations and player development, will take over for the reassigned Johnny Washington. As part of his new role, Schumaker will also be in charge of the team’s baserunning and work with its outfielders, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com tweets. Schumaker garnered plenty of firsthand experience on the bases and in the field as a utilityman with three major league teams from 2005-15.

  • The manager-less Yankees sent an email to the majors’ other 29 teams Friday granting them permission to contact any of their coaches who served under Joe Girardi, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports (Twitter link). So far, third base coach Joe Espada has interviewed with the Astros and Red Sox for openings on their staffs, per George A. King III of the New York Post (on Twitter). While King didn’t specify which position(s) Espada spoke those clubs about, the scribe reported earlier this week that he’s a candidate to be the next bench coach for either team.
  • There was speculation that Pirates third base coach Joey Cora would join younger brother Alex Cora’s staff with the Red Sox, but that won’t be the case, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag (Twitter link). Joey Cora will return to Pittsburgh for a second season in 2018.
  • Former major league hurler Jason Bere could interview to become the Mets’ pitching coach, Paul Hoynes of cleveland.com writes. Bere spent the previous 12 years in the Indians organization, including the past three as the team’s bullpen coach, giving him familiarity with ex-Tribe pitching coach and newly minted Mets manager Mickey Callaway. Cleveland and Bere parted ways earlier this week after it didn’t consider promoting him to Callaway’s vacated role. Bere and the Mets have been in contact since then, Hoynes relays.

    While Bere might make sense, I would rather see the Mets sign someone like Hickey who was just released by the Rays.

      Hickey has already committed to the Cubs.

      How are you a long suffering fan?
      Your team won the World Series twice, has been there five times, and the more recent trip was 2 years ago.

          I’ve been a Mets fan for very long time and won’t speak for Long Suffering Mets Fan, I do not share the self pitying. I’ve been fortunate to experience the Mets in the World Series winning all

          However, I think it’s extremely hard on Mets fans sharing a city with the Yankees. Can’t escape the ridicule and lack of success in comparison. It’s just harder on some people to cope or escape a segment of the crosstown Yankees fans who can be sore winners.

          Stay talking about Padres and Indians and leave us Mets fans to sit in our own sorrow. The Mets give their fans a lot to suffer from. Even during winning years there has to be some circus to cause suffering. The yankee situation cross town doesn’t help, always being the little brother to the evil empire, on top of very horrendous ownership. It is hard to be a Mets fan. But, I love every second of it and all the suffering, cuz when they do eventually win one, hopefully in my lifetime, it will make it that much better!

    Hell, good for Skip. As a Cardinal fan, always enjoyed his time in STL.
