Doug Melvin is ready to end his semi-retirement and attempt to transform the Mets into a winner, if given a chance.
“I went fishing for a couple of years and I caught one fish, so I am ready to get back into the baseball grind,” the 66-year-old Brewers senior adviser said Tuesday after interviewing with Mets owner Fred Wilpon and COO Jeff Wilpon for the team’s head of baseball operations vacancy.
Melvin is among three finalists for the opening, joining agent Brodie Van Wagenen and Rays senior VP of baseball operations Chaim Bloom.
