The Post has learned that Andrew Bailey was scheduled to interview for the bench coach post with the Yankees on Monday.

Bailey had been the Giants’ pitching coach for the previous four seasons. A New Jersey native, he had attended Wagner College on Staten Island.

Bailey also has been under consideration for pitching-coach duties with the Red Sox, Orioles and Marlins, and turned down an opportunity to be considered by the White Sox.

The hiring of Carlos Mendoza as manager of the Mets frees up the Yankees’ previous manager’s position.

Mendoza, who will be presented at a press conference on Tuesday at Citi Field, spent the previous four seasons as bench coach for Aaron Boone.

Bailey was a starting pitcher for five different organizations between 2009 (when he was with Oakland and won the AL Rookie of the Year) and 2017.

In 2015, the right-handed reliever made 10 appearances for the Yankees. He was hired by Billy Eppler, then general manager of the Angels, and served in a strategy/coaching capacity for the team in 2018 and 2019.

Hal Steinbrenner appreciated Brian Cashman’s passionate Yankees defense — minus the cussing

Last week, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman gave a fiery and, at times, obscenity-heavy defense of the baseball operations department and its way of doing business. Hal Steinbrenner did not love the language, but he did like the attitude portrayed.

While I don’t condone the cursing, I do enjoy the intensity,” the Yankees owner remarked in an email discussion. There are too many false narratives out there about our organization, being pushed by uneducated and uninvolved people. Obviously, this is very annoying.

on reasons unknown, Steinbrenner declined to specify on the record what exactly the “false narratives” concern. However, Steinbrenner stated in his own press conference last week that the belief that analytics dictates every move the Yankees make is untrue, especially when it comes to the in-game decisions that Aaron Boone makes.

Cashman spoke with reporters for over an hour last week during the general managers’ meetings in Scottsdale, Arizona. During the discussion, he defended his department and said, “I think we are pretty [bleeping] good, personally.”

A week later, Stanton’s agent Joel Wolfe responded to the quote via The Athletic, saying, “I read the context of the full interview. To play for that team you have to be built of Teflon, both mentally and physically, and you can never let your guard down even in the offseason, and I believe that’s a good lesson for any free players, international or local, who are thinking about signing in New York.

When reached by The Post, Wolfe refused further comment or clarification.

Wolfe is the representative of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the best foreign free agent this offseason and a target of the Yankees.

Similarly, Steinbrenner refrained from making any public statements in response to Cashman’s comments on Stanton and the fallout.
