Chip Hale, a recent castoff by the Arizona Diamondbacks, is expected to be hired as the Mets third base coach, according to Adam Rubin.
Hale spent the last three seasons with Arizona and will replace Razor Shines, who may be named Jerry Manuel’s bench coach. But Rubin notes that another ex-DBack may be on a list of people to join the coaching staff: Bob Melvin.
It’s not set in stone who will be on the staff or even where they will be coaching, but I’m glad the Mets seem to be taking this task very seriously.
