Mets Finish Manager Interviews, Decision Expected Early Next Week

Filed under:

The Mets have wrapped up their second round of manager interviews with the four finalists, and one of them will be the new skipper at Citi Field by the beginning of next week.

Terry Collins and Wally Backman had their callbacks Thursday as the owners' meetings wrapped up in Orlando, Fla. Their competition, Bob Melvin and Chip Hale, did the same the previous day. All met with new general manager Sandy Alderson, his assistants John Ricco, Paul DePodesta and J.P. Ricciardi, and chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon.

Though Collins and Melvin have experience managing other major league teams, all four qualify as internal candidates in the race to replace the fired Jerry Manuel. Those two are scouts for the Mets, while Hale was Manuel's third base coach and Backman a minor league manager in the organization.
