The New York Mets have had a busy offseason so far. In anticipation of the MLB lockout, they signed outfielders Starling Marte and Mark Canha, they brought infielder Eduardo Escobar, and they signed star pitcher Max Scherzer. In the middle of all that hoopla, they also welcomed new general manager Billy Eppler, who was behind most of those moves.
The Mets, however, still need to find a manager after deciding not to renew Luis Rojas’ contract for next season. The search, much like the GM one, hasn’t been as smooth as originally hoped, but there is already a list of candidates for the job.
