## Summary

Brad Ausmus is leaving the Yankees coaching staff to become the Houston Astros’ manager, leaving New York with a vacancy at bench coach. His move matters because it is the second departure from Aaron Boone’s staff as the Yankees work through changes to their coaching group.

Ausmus, 57, was Boone’s bench coach for three seasons and interviewed for both the Astros’ general manager and manager positions; Randy Flores got the GM job. He played ten seasons for Houston as a catcher and previously managed the Tigers and Angels, recording 386 wins and 422 losses. Tanner Swanson has also left the Yankees for a bench coach role with Seattle, while several other Yankees coaches are set to return and the hitting staff remains under discussion.
