The Yankees have made their first addition this offseason.

No, it is not to the roster that lost to the Astros in the ALCS. The team will reportedly hire Matt Blake as its new pitching coach, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Jeff Passan was the first to report the move.

Blake comes over from the Cleveland Indians, where he previously served as the team's pitching coordinator. The Yankees parted ways with longtime pitching coach Larry Rothschild earlier this offseason. New York also interviewed David Cone for the position.
