The New York Yankees are very good about taking care of and
honoring one of their own. They did so this offseason when they gave jobs to
Eric Chavez and Hideki Matsui and now the team is offering a position to
another former member of the team in Tino Martinez. Martinez, who was honored
with a plaque inside Monument Park in 2014, is back with the club as a minor
league instructor.
Martinez will be at the team’s minor league camp until it
ends this weekend and is expected to continue the role throughout the 2015
season. Martinez was part of four World Series championship teams and five
American League pennants from 1996-2001. Martinez was also the Miami Marlins
hitting coach in 2013 until he resigned after an altercation with Marlins
players.
Welcome back to the family.
