Deep into their search for a new manager, the Mets have interviewed in person at least four candidates for the job, including one new name that became public Monday.
ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez _ that new name _ and Diamondbacks vice president of player development Mike Bell met with Mets decision-makers on Monday, a source said. Mets quality-control coach Luis Rojas, a longtime minor-league manager and coach in the organization, and a favorite among Mets players, interviewed last week, according to another source.
That trio joins Yankees special assistant Carlos Beltran, who also had his turn last week, as those known to have completed in-person interviews.
