Cleveland Indians general manager Mike Chernoff will formally interview for the Mets’ president of baseball operations job, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Morosi had already reported on Tuesday that the Mets had requested permission from Cleveland to interview Chernoff and that he had “emerged as a leading candidate” for the position.
Chernoff has long been connected to the Mets. He was under consideration for their general manager vacancy after the 2018 season, but he declined to interview. Chernoff is from Livingston, New Jersey and played baseball at Princeton.
