Multiple names have been rumored as potential managerial candidates for the Mets, and the latest name to crop up in reports in Sandy Alomar Jr. The former catcher played briefly with the Mets in 2007, as he appeared in eight games that year and batted .136. He returned for the next two seasons as a catching instructor under then-manager Jerry Manuel.
Alomar has been with the Indians since 2010, first serving as the bench coach under Manny Acta and now serving as the first base coach. Alomar does have managerial experience in the past, though it is only six games.
