Padres Consider Benji Gil, Eric Chavez for Managerial Opening; Mets Interview Yankees Bench Coach Mendoza and Former Padres Manager Green

The San Diego Padres are considering external candidates Benji Gil, Phil Nevin, and Eric Chavez for their managerial opening. Mike Shildt and Ryan Flaherty are viewed as the favorites for the job. The New York Mets have interviewed Yankees bench coach Carlos Mendoza and former Padres manager Andy Green for their managerial opening. If Mendoza gets the job, the Yankees would have to choose between moving Luis Rojas or re-hiring him for a different role. Mendoza is also in the mix for the Cleveland Guardians and was a strong candidate for the San Francisco Giants. A fan favorite from the Washington Nationals' 2019 World Series team has joined the club's coaching staff.
