The Mets took another step toward filling out their coaching staff on Wednesday, hiring New York native Tony Tarasco to become their first-base coach. Tarasco replaces Tony DeFrancesco, whom the Mets reassigned to another position in the organization. Tarasco, 50, has spent the past five seasons as an outfield and baserunning instructor in the Padres’ organization. He’ll be the point person in those areas for the Mets as well, in addition to his duties as first-base coach.
