All the 2024 staff from this season is returning for 2025. But that doesn’t mean Stearns wasn’t going to add lol. Guess he forgot to remind everyone that part heh.
I’m sure a raise $$$ was involved for him to leave.
Edit – “Desi is a killer get for the Mets. Considered one of the best in the industry from a pitch design and seam orientation optimization standpoint.
Have been lucky enough to have a few convos with him, learned something each time.”
I wouldn’t assume Hefner is gone in 2026. But I think just incase we now have an excellent replacement $$$. I do not wish for him to be gone in 2026 but best to plan for everything. Or if he moves jobs to future bench coach or something.
Love this move! Been wondering why Hef never had an assistant. And Yankees org may struggle w a bunch of other shit but they have fantastic pitching and have consistently turned turds into diamonds over the past couple years
Limit the walks. Please!
Yup telling all my Mets friends that we got our guy; stole him right from the yankees
