NEW YORK _ Fresh streams of data and analytics have informed the New York Yankees' game preparation and their decision-making, which in turn, can impact the old guard.
On Monday, the Yankees dismissed long-time pitching coach Larry Rothschild from the big-league staff.
As a three-day period of organizational meetings began Monday, the club announced that Rothschild, 65, would not be returning for a 10th season.
"I want to personally thank Larry for his near-decade of commitment to this organization," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said in a statement.
"Larry cares deeply about his craft and the pitchers under his tutelage and he played a significant role in our successes over the past nine seasons.
"There's a reason why Larry has had the type of distinguished baseball career he's had, and it starts with experience and dedication that is difficult to emulate."
Rothschild had a year remaining on his contract. He was a holdover from manager Joe Girardi's staff, along with bullpen coach Mike Harkey, when Aaron Boone was hired prior to the 2018 season.
