Tim Bogar To Interview For Mets Managerial Opening

By Dylan A. Chase | October 18, 2019 at 1:39pm CDT

FRIDAY: Bogar is indeed getting an interview, Heyman tweets.

WEDNESDAY: According to a tweet from Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Tim Bogar, first base coach for the Nationals, is under consideration for the open Mets managerial seat (link). It is not clear if Bogar has interviewed for the position, but Barry Svrugla of the Washington Post confirms that Bogar is “involved to some degree” with New York (link).

Being that third base coach Bob Henley was linked to the Padres opening today, it seems the World Series-bound Nats are in danger of having their coaching table rightly pillaged by the rest of the league. Bogar, for his part, offers a pretty sterling resumé, as far as coaches go. The 52-year-old, Chicago-bred baseball man has worked on the coaching staffs of managerial big-shots like Joe Maddon, Terry Francona, Bobby Valentine, and Ron Washington. He earned the opportunity to serve as Texas’ interim manager in 2014 after Washington stepped down, leading the Rangers to a 14-8 record in the season’s final month. Bogar also has spent a little time as a front office assistant to Jerry DiPoto while the latter was in Anaheim, and, of course, logged a 700-game playing career that began with–you guessed it–the Mets.

If interviewed, Bogar would become the seventh man to sit down with New York brass since Mickey Callaway was dismissed on Oct 3. To this point, Diamondbacks player development director Mike Bell, Yankees assistant Carlos Beltran, former MLB manager Joe Girardi, ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez, Twins bench coach Derek Shelton, and Mets quality control coach Luis Rojas have been reported as Mets interviewees.

    Bogar was indeed born in Indianapolis, but he really grew up in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago.

      Was it Arlington Heights? I believe I remember Harry Caray telling us viewers that Bogar was from there during a random Mets-Cubs game years and years ago.

    Bogar also spent 5 years managing in the minors with the Houston, Cleveland & LA Angels organizations. 3 different years at AA & won a division title with AA Akron in 2006.

      I believe that he was a minor league Manager of the Year two or three times as well.

    Why he’s not linked to every opening is beyond me. And no, I’m not a member of the Bogar family.

      No worries Gumby. He will get the job as long as he accepts Fred’s frugal contract. The old man wants to cut overhead since it is likely that Cespedes will return to the team and the Mets won’t get insurance money. Plus he’s still seething at inheriting Robbie Cano.

    I would suggest Marv Throneberry, but I think he’s dead. Of course that would make him the ideal choice for the Wilpons, payroll wise.

    Was drafted by Mets in 87 (cashen) and played on the 93 to 95 teams. No stranger to Fredville.

    Tony DeFrancesco. Why not him? Look him up. Sterling record as AAA manager. Already in- house as Mets AAA manager in Syracuse and Las Vegas year before.

      I would like to know more about DeFrancesco. Does he have mlb managing ambitions? It’s possible that not everyone wants that kind of limelight and pressure? He may be comfortable (and enjoying success as well as job security) in the milb developmental atmosphere without the daily microscope that is NY.

      Bogar, on the other hand, has many years of experience in the mlb clubhouse and dugout since he retired as a player AND, more importantly, had WORKED his way up. If he’s interested in managing, I just might believe he is a very good choice. I’ve always felt former players with average mlb skills who had to work a lot harder to stick around, bring a very qualified mind set to what it takes to succeed. Maybe that’s why you see the most successful mlb managers were back up catchers and reserve middle infielders – literally the 25th man on every roster, yet managed to stick around for 10+ years as players.

      Good luck Tim Bogar!

    The ignorant fan wants someone like Beltran to run the team because they’ve heard of him. Bogar is an excellent choice.

      Joe’s going South down I-95, but you’ll still see him 19 times every year.
