Los Angeles Dodgers bench coach Bob Geren “may have a leg up” on a possible managerial vacancy with the New York Mets, reports Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
The Mets have yet to make a public announcement on the future of current skipper Terry Collins, although Cafardo says it “seems inevitable” that the two sides will part ways after seven seasons.
Cafardo says New York general manager Sandy Alderson has a “fondness” for Geren, who was bench coach of the Mets from 2012-15 before taking the same job with the Dodgers.
