According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, Pat Gillick has taken his name out of the running for the Mets general manager job.
Gillick is known as one of the most successful executives in the game, leading the Blue Jays and Phillies to world championships. Now 74 years old, he still works with Philadelphia as a consultant. The team granted permission for an interview and Gillick spoke with Mets COO Jeff Wilpon today, according to Rosenthal.
“It was a very positive conversation,” Gillick said of his talk with Wilpon.”
“I wouldn’t mind working again. I would like to work again. But I prefer to work here on the west coast. If it wasn’t for that, I’d certainly be interested.”
