We knew the New York Mets had shown an interest in Chicago Cubs assistant hitting coach John Mallee, and we knew that Mallee did not ultimately land with the Mets.
Now we know a little more about how exactly it played out:
Story with @WillSammon: The Cubs reworked John Mallee’s contract after the Mets showed preliminary interest in the hitting coach, retaining a key figure in Pete Crow-Armstrong’s development into this year’s presumptive National League MVP. t.co/KZCnKfPAZw
— Patrick Mooney (@PJ_Mooney) October 28, 2026According to the report, the Cubs were so keen to make sure they kept Mallee that they proactively went to him to rework his contract *BEFORE* he even spoke with the Mets. In other words, the Cubs caught wind of the interest – who is to say how, though if Mallee’s agent did it, he deserves a thank you fruit basket – and set about getting Mallee locked down so he wouldn’t go elsewhere.
Consider that very high praise for an assistant hitting coach, but we knew just how impactful Mallee could be given the credit Pete Crow-Armstrong gave to Mallee in the process of his breakout. I am very glad to hear that the Cubs made certain they didn’t lose his voice in the organization.
