NEW YORK -- Third base coach Tim Teufel will be one of the primary candidates to succeed Bob Geren as bench coach for the New York Mets, assistant general manager John Ricco said Friday.
Geren departed to take the same role with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which allows him to be closer to family in Southern California.
“We do have some internal candidates that we like, and Tim’s one of them,” Ricco said. “But we have a couple of other guys that we’re going to consider also. We’re not going to rush into that, because we do feel like we have internal candidates.
