The New York Mets have narrowed down the list of finalists for their vacant General Manager position to three, and one of Milwaukee’s veteran executives has found his name on the shortlist for the position:
Mets may have their finalists set. I'm hearing Casey Close and Kim Ng are not finalists. That leaves 3 still in the hunt: Melvin, Bloom and Van Wagenen.

Melvin, 66, has spent a lifetime working in baseball as both a minor league player and in the front office. He served as an MLB GM for 20 years during stints with two organizations, the Rangers (1994-2001) and our Milwaukee Brewers (2002-2015).
