The New York Mets have been backed into a corner by the Houston Astros scandal. They had to fire Carlos Beltran due to his involvement in the scandal as a player. Now, they’re stuck without a manager just weeks before spring training.
So, it’s interesting that the Mets haven’t moved quickly to replace Beltran. The Astros have already interviewed six candidates for their managerial opening.
The Boston Red Sox have been linked to a number of candidates outside their organization, such as Mets bench coach Hensley Meulens. They’ve also been connected to franchise legend Jason Varitek.
