Carlos Beltran remains very much in the running for the Mets’ managerial vacancy as he awaits a second interview with the club.
According to an industry source, the Mets have asked permission from the Yankees to speak with Beltran a second time as they whittle their list of candidates to fill the manager’s seat. Beltran, a special assistant with the Yankees, is one of eight known candidates. His initial interview with general manager Brodie Van Wagenen came before the start of the ALCS.
Beltran has advocates in assistant GM Allard Baird and special assistant Omar Minaya, both of whom have a long relationship with the former All-Star outfielder.
