On Twitter, @anthonydicomo reports the Tigers have denied permission for the Mets to talk with Al Avila.
I was rooting for you Al.
Now baseball policy will force the Mets to really insult someone by making the Mets interview their second choice diversity candidate…..because the Randolph/Manuel/Minaya years somehow suggest the Mets factor skin tone into hiring.
Again, I hope the best person gets the job (no interest in Kim Ng?) but to do a charade to check off a box is insulting to all
