In addition to the Mets, several teams are in the market to hire a new pitching coach.
It was reported Thursday that the Cardinals plan to hire Mike Maddux to fill their vacancy, the Twins have reached agreement with Garvin Alston, and the Indians will hire Carl Willis to replace Mickey Callaway, who was introduced as the new manager of the Mets earlier this week.
The Mets began interviewing potential candidates this week, a team source told the NY Post's Mike Puma.
According to Puma, the Mets continue to view former Yankees and Royals coach Dave Eiland as a possible candidate.
