LISTEN: Mark DeRosa Says He Wasn’t Surprised But Was Disappointed He Didn’t Get Mets Manager Job

NEW YORK (WFAN) — Of the six candidates who interviewed for the Mets’ managerial job, Mark DeRosa was the most surprising name on the list.

Not only did his name not leak out in the press before Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway was hired, DeRosa, a former journeyman infielder who now works as an MLB Network analyst, has no coaching experience.

DeRosa, 42, is a regular guest on Mike Francesa’s show. So naturally the WFAN host asked him Tuesday about his interview.

“I was humbled by the opportunity,” DeRosa said.
