At this point in time, Buck Showalter is considered the favorite for the New York Mets’ managerial position. There are still other candidates who were interviewed, and the second (and last) round of interviews will presumably start over the weekend.
Showalter has a reputation of being an old-school manager that won’t embrace analytics, in a franchise that has revamped that department since Steve Cohen took over as owner, and even a little before that.
However, Danny Abriano of SNY.tv brought back some Showalter interviews from 2018, his last stint as an MLB manager with the Baltimore Orioles.
