Buck Showalter is willing to have his hat in the ring, but he’s not running to Queens to throw it in there.
The former Yankees, Diamondbacks, Rangers and Orioles manager hesitantly said he would have interest in the Mets job, hours after Mickey Callaway was fired on Thursday.
“Yeah, I’d like to be talked about it, but I’m not going to campaign about it, and I’m real uncomfortable even talking about it with you now because there’s a lot of good people out there and they’re going to make a good decision,” Showalter said Thursday night on Steve Somers’ WFAN show.
