NEW YORK — The
Snitker and Willard are joining a coaching staff that has undergone a major overhaul under manager Carlos Mendoza after the Mets failed to reach the postseason despite the addition of superstar right-fielder Juan Soto, who finished third in voting for NL Most Valuable Player.

Dan McKinney will serve as the assistant pitching coach. Gilbert Gomez will coach first base and work with the outfielders. Tim Leiper will coach third and work with the infielders. J.P. Arencibia, who spent the last three seasons as the bench coach and assistant hitting coach for Triple-A Syracuse, will work with the catchers.
Jose Rosado will return as New York’s bullpen coach. Rafael Fernandez was promoted to assistant hitting coach and Danny Barnes will be the quality assurance coach.
