Will Venable, a prominent member of the Texas Rangers coaching staff, has declined an interview for the managerial position with the New York Mets. The Mets had also been pursuing Craig Counsell for the role, but it is uncertain if they will be able to secure him. However, the Mets are open to considering first-time managers if Counsell falls through. The team has recently received permission to interview Counsell after initially being declined by the Milwaukee Brewers.
