The New York Mets have hired former major-league catcher A.J. Ellis to their major-league coaching staff, according to a report from Last Word on Sports on November 5, 2026.
Ellis, who played 11 seasons in the majors, most notably with the Los Angeles Dodgers, brings extensive experience behind the plate. The 37-year-old last played for the San Diego Padres in 2018.
The addition aims to bolster the Mets' catching development and game-planning strategy.
