Today, the New York Gothams formally announced the signing of Manager Matthew O'Keefe (Left) and Pitching Coach Francisco Mieses (Right). O'Keefe, the manager of the 76-86 Cincinnati Redlegs last season and formerly the manager of the Boston Bees, was signed to a 4 million dollar contract. Mieses, one of the most successful pitching coaches in the history of UBA, Inc., will be moving on to the Gothams after 5 seasons as the pitching coach for the Louisville Greys. Mieses was signed to a 3.5 million dollar contract, nearly 1.5 million more than he received last season. When asked about leaving Louisville, Mieses said "I had five fantastic years as a manager for the Greys. We won two World Championships, and two more League Championships. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with a pitching staff that has two of the best pitchers this league has ever seen (Mayne and Cone), and to help usher in a new era with super-prospect Max Garces in his first season. This season will be a lot of fun."
