After pitching coach Jeremy Hefner was let go by the Mets after the season — with the team not picking up his contract option — Druschel was offered the opportunity to return to the Mets along with permission to speak to other teams.
Since he had been hired in part by Hefner, it made sense to go back to the Yankees, who also made a change to their coaching staff by not retaining longtime bullpen coach Mike Harkey.
Druschel is the latest coach to depart from Mets manager Carlos Mendoza’s staff, including Hefner, bench coach John Gibbons, hitting coaches Eric Chavez and Jeremy Barnes, and infield coach Mike Sarbaugh. Catching instructor Glenn Sherlock retired.
As for the Yankees, Preston Claiborne replaced Druschel last year and is expected to stay.
Druschel’s move back to the Yankees was first reported by ESPN.
