Who’s the boss? Interviews end, Mets almost ready to decide

Barring an 11th-hour surprise entry into the sweepstakes, the Mets’ interviews for a head of baseball operations are finished.

Rays senior vice president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom met with team owner Fred Wilpon and COO Jeff Wilpon on Thursday, according to sources — the last of three finalists to receive a second interview.

Bloom joined agent Brodie Van Wagenen and Brewers senior adviser Doug Melvin among the finalists. The team is expected to decide by next week on a hire, putting the new general manager (or head of baseball operations) in place by the start of the GM meetings on Nov.
