The Mets have started to interview candidates to fill their empty manager’s seat. On Friday, current hitting coach Kevin Long interviewed for the position, with Houston bench coach Alex Cora set for an interview tomorrow. Former Met utility player/current Chicago White Sox bench coach Joe McEwing is also scheduled for an interview this week.
These three names are among the eight or so names that have been floated for the past few weeks, joining Sandy Alomar Jr., Robin Ventura, Chip Hale, Brad Ausmus, and Bob Geren.
