Joe Girardi has already interviewed for the Mets manager job according to Andy Martino of SNY.
The former Yankees manager joins Luis Rojas, Carlos Beltran, Eduardo Perez, and Mike Bell as Mets managerial hopefuls that have interviewed to replace Mickey Callaway.
Girardi has also interviewed for the Cubs manager job and is reported to be a finalist for the Phillies gig as well.
Given Girardi’s history of winning in New York and his eagerness to return to managing, he looks like a top candidate. Girardi would also represent a change from the more inexperienced Callaway, as Callaway took over in 2018 despite having no previous MLB managing experience.
During Girardi’s ten years with the Yankees, he led them to a 910-710 record. His accomplishments include winning the 2009 World Series and capturing three division titles in the competitive AL East. In his last season with the Yankees, he took them to the ALCS where his team would lose in game seven to the eventual World Champion Houston Astros.
