Cone among candidates for Yankees’ pitching coach

David Cone is among the candidates for the vacant pitching coach job with the New York Yankees.

The former pitcher, now an analyst for Yankees games on YES Network, confirmed he interviewed late last week in comments to the New York Post.

“It was all good. I’m thankful for the opportunity to talk to them. It was nice they called me in and wanted to talk,” Cone, 56, said.

Cone hopscotched around the major leagues during a 17-year career, playing with the Yankees, New York Mets, Kansas City Royals, Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox. He made two stops each with the Mets, Royals and Blue Jays.

He posted a 194-126 career record with a 3.46 ERA and averaged 8.7 strikeouts per nine innings. With the two New York teams, he combined for a 145-91 record.

Cone, a five-time all-star, won the 1994 American League Cy Young Award and was part of five World Series-winning teams.

Veteran infielder Martin Prado has told friends he likely will retire, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported Wednesday.

Prado, 36, played the past five seasons with the Miami Marlins. The 14-year veteran owns a career .287 batting average with 100 home runs and 609 RBIs.

The Venezuelan utility player batted .233 with two homers and 15 RBIs in 104 games last season.

Prado debuted in 2006 with the Atlanta Braves. Dallas Stars defenceman John Klingberg will miss at least two weeks after sustaining multiple injuries on the same play Tuesday.

The 27-year-old veteran was hit in the face by a puck and also suffered a lower-body injury in the second period.
