The Yankees want to retain pitching coach Matt Blake, whose contract is up after 2026.
His timing couldn’t be better. The Yankees easily led MLB with a 3.23 team ERA.
The Brewers were second at 3.51.
Blake started as an unpaid “bird dog” scout for the Yankees while he was the pitching coach at Lincoln-Sudbury High outside Boston. But Blake now has a chance to join the exclusive ranks as a $1 million-a-year coach (or get close).
