Mets Sued by Ex-Pitching Coach Phil Regan for Age Discrimination

Former Mets pitching coach Phil Regan filed an age discrimination lawsuit Monday against the club and former general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, claiming that the franchise did not keep him on staff after the 2019 season due to the organization preferring someone younger.

Regan, who was 82 in ’19, replaced Dave Eiland as the Mets pitching coach in June 2019 on an interim status. He held the position until the conclusion of that season when he was replaced by New York’s current pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, who was 33 at the time, in December 2019.
