The Athletic is reporting the Mets are "close" to naming John Gibbons their bench coach.

Tracksuit reporting Mike Sarbaugh will be the 3rd base coach

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Good for Gibbo.



Sarbaugh was the Guardians 3B coach and infield coach

[Edgy MD]

Gibbons has had a spot in the Mets' dugout coming for a long time.



Also adds to the list of 1986 Mets continuing the organization.

He's he guy I wanted in the last few Managerial hirings.

He's finally coming home.

Love it!

Antoan Richardson is reportedly the new first base coach. He was the Giants' guy in that spot.

[Edgy MD]

A full-on gutting of the Buck Bunch sure seems to be in the works.



Watch your back, Dom Chiti.

Mets coaching staff:

Manager - Carlos Mendoza

Bench coach - John Gibbons

Pitching coach - Jeremy Hefner

Hitting coach - Eric Chavez

Hitting coach - Jeremy Barnes

Third base coach - Mike Sarbaugh

Catching coach - Glenn Sherlock

First base coach - Antoan Richardson



They still need a bullpen coach--Jose Rosado is "close", per Puma.

Dom Chiti returned to the Angels organization in October.

[Edgy MD]

He didn't write to me before leaving.



That's so like him, though.

Third base coach Mike Sarbaugh, entrusted with a position where a windbreaker won't do, was No. 64, which Carlos Mendoza has taken for J.D. Martinez's sake, so he'll need to renumerate, so to speak. Oh, the cascading!

[G-Fafif]

Sarbaugh now listed as No. 88.
