New Mets Manager: Could Mets Have An Answer Soon?

As being tweeted by many, Elvis Alderson and company are planning on having the second round of interviews with the four candidates completed by tomorrow night.

It is believed Bob Melvin will meet with the Mets hierarchy today since he was seen in the Orlando Waldorf earlier today.

As of now, no set schedule was made available as to whom will be interviewing and when.

******* Update ******

Adam Rubin just announced that the schedule for interviews is:


"Bob Melvin, Chip Hale today; Wally Backman, Terry Collins Thursday"

If interviews conclude by tomorrow night, there should be no reason the Mets can't have a press conference announcing the new manager by the end of the weekend or early next week at the latest.

The scariest thought: "The New York Mets are thrilled to announce that Bob Melvin is the new Mets manager..."

Second Scariest thought: "The New York Mets are thrilled to announce that Terry Collins is the new Mets manager..."

More palatable thought: "The New York Mets are thrilled to announce that Chip Hale is the new Mets manager..."

Best thought: "The New York Mets are thrilled to announce that Wally Backman is the new Mets manager..."
