The Mets’ rough timeline for naming a general-manager successor to Sandy Alderson is to have a list of roughly 10 to 12 candidates by the end of this month, then pare that further to perhaps a half-dozen to be interviewed and have someone in place prior to the Nov. 4-8 GM meetings.
At the moment, you can believe the Mets are searching wide to make sure they unearth and consider every viable candidate.
