According to ESPN LA’s Mark Saxon, the Dodgers are reportedly interested in Mets bench coach Bob Geren for their open managerial position.

As Saxon noted, Geren has worked with current GM Farhan Zaidi in Oakland, where Geren was the manager and Zaidi worked with Billy Beane in the front office.

Geren, 54, managed Oakland from 2007 until 2011, when he was fired mid-season. He posted a 334-376 record in Oakland. He has been with the Mets organization since 2011.

Don Mattingly and the Dodgers amicably parted ways in a joint announcement on Thursday.
