Backman to get second interview with Mets

Question

Can someone tell me about Backman to get second interview

Answer 1

Backman met with new Mets' GM Sandy Alderson for three hours over the weekend and apparently did well enough to warrant a second interview. The Mets have already spoken with five internal candidates -- Backman, Chip Hale, Terry Collins, Bob Melvin and Dave Jauss -- and just began considering outside candidates. Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale interviewed for the job on Tuesday and Clint Hurdle and Don Wakamatsu are scheduled to come in on Wednesday. Triple-A Buffalo manager Ken Oberkfell will interview Friday. Alderson said Tuesday that he hopes to name a manager by the end of the month.
