Brian Cashman has confirmed the coaching changes that were reported on Tuesday. However, he denied that the hiring of Mick Kelleher had to do with Robinson Cano.

"I’m not looking for a coach that’s a motivator of Robby," he told Ken Davidoff. "Robby is a self-motivated guy. ... His batting came around in the end. I just think you’ll see Robby back to his old self. The job description has nothing to do with, 'I need a coach to fix Robby Cano.' I think Robby is fixed already. How he finished demonstrates that."
