The Mets exhaustive search for a General Manager and/or President of Baseball Operations keeps taking one wild turn after another.
First the team was rejected by Billy Beane and Theo Epstein; two of the best executives of this generation, because they just deem the Mets as a good fit for them. Beane is comfortable in Oakland, California. He's a part owner for the A's.
Epstein is working in baseball's front office, and has ownership aspirations. It was never gonna happen with them.
Then we heard the Mets couldn't interview David Stearns of the Brewers; were rejected by Matt Harris of the Giants, and there was even speculation that ex-Giants executive Brian Sabean was interested in the job.
However on Tuesday, reports surfaced that Brewers General Manager Matt Arnold could be a candidate for the job. Mike Puma of the New York Post reported that contact was made. Andy Martino of SNY reported the Mets hadn't heard back on a request to speak with Arnold.
If it doesn't happen with Arnold, the Mets could be forced to look in-house.
It's all been part of one of the most frustrating searches in Mets history.
