One week after letting go of pitching coach Dave Eiland and then re-signing manager Joe Girardi, the Yankees have agreed to re-sign Kevin Long to a three-year deal, according to the New York Post.
The Post reported Long will receive a raise from his previous deal, which earned him $400K annually.
The Post also reported bullpen coach Mike Harkey is a “strong candidate” to replace Eiland as pitching coach.
Nothing here is official, but assuming it’s true, I of course am not complaining. Several Yankees raved about Long the past few years. And I can’t say I’ve heard the same about Eiland.
As for Harkey, here are his career pitching stats:
