Yankees interview Hensley Meulens for managerial opening

Hensley Meulens has become the third candidate to talk to the New York Yankees about their manager job, following interviews with Rob Thomson and Eric Wedge.

A former outfielder who spent five of his seven major league seasons with the Yankees, the 50-year-old Muelens has been a coach with the San Francisco Giants for the last eight seasons and was shifted last month from hitting coach to bench coach.

He also managed the Netherlands at the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

New York announced last month it was not offering a contract to Joe Girardi, who had the job for a decade.
