As a top NL East rival prepares to meet with three experienced former managers with marquee name value, the Mets on Monday are expected to interview a potential first-timer.
Reports on Sunday said the Phillies will interview Joe Girardi, Buck Showalter and Dusty Baker for their managerial opening. The Mets, according to an industry source, plan to speak Monday with Mike Bell, the Diamondbacks’ vice president of player development, for their vacancy.
Girardi, Bell, Carlos Beltran, Twins bench coach Derek Shelton and Mets quality control coach Luis Rojas are the known candidates to replace Mickey Callaway, as the Amazin’s managerial search enters a second week.
