The Mets are hiring Guardians field coordinator Kai Correa as their new bench coach, reports Sports Illustrated’s Pat Ragazzo.
Ragazzo adds that Correa spent the last two seasons overseeing Cleveland’s baserunning and game strategy under manager Stephen Vogt. He was with the Giants as a bench coach for three seasons from 2020-2023. The 36-year-old adds a fresh voice to the dugout for Mets manager Carlos Mendoza as he enters his third season at the helm in New York.
