There are two new names to add to the pool of New York Mets managerial candidates—Skip Schumaker and Tim Bogar.

Schumaker had an 11-year MLB career that included stops with the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Cincinnati Reds. He retired in 2016 and took over as Padres’ first-base coach for the last two seasons.

At the tender age of 39, Schumaker would normally seem far too young to take over a big-league club.
