The Mets plan to interview Kevin Long for their managerial opening within the next few days, reports Mike Puma of the NY Post.
The 50-year-old Long, who expressed his interest in the job to Mets GM Sandy Alderson, does not have any big league managerial experience. He was the hitting coach for the Yankees from 2007 to 2014, before taking the same role with the Mets prior to the 2015 season. He is returning to the Mets in 2018, but it isn't yet known what his role will be.
The Mets recently began conducting their managerial interviews.
