Bored during summer off, Brad Ausmus ready to provide advice as Aaron Boone’s Yankees bench coach

After serving as Mark Kotsay’s bench coach with Oakland in 2022, Brad Ausmus stayed home in California this year. Ausmus managed Detroit from 2014-17 and the Los Angeles Angels in 2019, winning the AL Central at 90-72 in his first season with the Tigers before Baltimore swept Detroit in a Division Series. With the Yankees he replaces Carlos Mendoza, who left to manage the Mets.
