Source: Joe Espada will be Yankees' infield coach. He was major league scout for the Yanks last year. Before that, was 3B coach for Marlins.

Earlier in the day the New York Yankees finally announced the signing of not one but two hitting coaches and now the team has an infield coach. His name is Joe Espada who was most recently a scout for the Yankees and a third base coach for the Miami Marlins. Notice I said infield coach and not necessarily the first base coach. Mick Kelleher had served as New York's first base coach and infield coach but conceivably this could be made into two jobs. Also it's worth mentioning that Rob Thompson could, and should, be moved off the third base coach job and moved to first base while Espada takes over at third base.Either way it looks like the Yankees coaching staff is finally decided and not a second too soon.
