Mets Interview Hensley Meulens For Bench Coach Position

By Connor Byrne | November 20, 2019 at 10:59pm CDT

Former Giants assistant Hensley Meulens has a job with the Marlins if he wants it, but the division-rival Mets could prevent that union from coming to fruition. The Mets have interviewed Meulens for their vacant bench coach position, Dan Martin and Ken Davidoff of the New York Post report.

The 52-year-old Meulens, a former professional outfielder who spent most of his career in New York as a Yankee, is coming off a decade-long run as a coach with the Giants. Meulens is well-regarded for his time in San Francisco, where he was most recently its bench coach, and has drawn managerial consideration from at least a couple teams over the past few years. The Giants interviewed Meulens this fall to succeed departed manager Bruce Bochy before selecting Gabe Kapler for the role.

If the Mets end up hiring the multilingual Meulens, he’ll provide first-time manager Carlos Beltran with an experienced right-hand man. Meulens joins Joey Cora, Fredi Gonzalez and Jerry Narron as reported candidates in the running for the position. Should the Mets choose Cora, Gonzalez, Narron or someone else, Meulens figures to wind up in Miami in a role that hasn’t been announced to this point. Meulens has already signed a letter of intent to join the Marlins’ staff, but he still has the option to go elsewhere.

    Remember, Hensley, it’s one bang for fastball. Two for breaking ball.

    I think that’s the system Beltran knows.

      First time this offseason I’ve seen someone suggest the Mets would offer more money than another team for someone!

      Even with how the Mets are, even they’re not dumb enough to give the outfield version of Nick Johnson (injury wise) a stupid deal.

        It would be for the major league minimum.

    As the Wilpons say, “We must make headlines!” This is clearly a philosophy that they took from J. Bruce Ismay. Besides the Mets having previously had a player with an eerily similar name in their subconscious ode to Ismay, guess what he’s best known for. You can’t make this stuff up!

    I wonder if anyone in the Mets PR team has a name similar to Jim Jones.
