The Mets have narrowed their GM search to three candidates: CAA's Brodie Van Wagenen, former Rangers and Brewers GM Doug Melvin, and Rays senior VP of baseball operations Chaim Bloom.
Second round interviews are expected to wrap up later this week, with the Mets potentially making the new hire shortly after.
Who is Chaim Bloom?
The 35-year-old Bloom currently oversees and works closely with the Rays' current GM, Erik Neander.
Bloom interviewed to run the Phillies in 2015 and the next winter interviewed with the Twins, prior to which he turned down the opportunity to meet with the Diamondbacks.
