The New York Mets are considering Dusty Baker for their open managerial spot after parting ways with Carlos Beltran, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.

"An industry source told the Post on Friday that Dusty Baker, who wasn't seriously considered for the job before Carlos Beltran got hired, is now part of the discussion among team officials, who are forced to move swiftly in filling the position," Puma wrote Friday.

Puma reported Baker was under consideration to replace ex-skipper Mickey Callaway when the team was slumping during the 2019 season, but the Mets improved and finished 86-76.
