The Mets’ managerial search is down to two: Carlos Beltrán and Eduardo Pérez, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Friday.

Both Beltrán and Pérez would be first-time MLB managers — as was the Mets manager they’d be replacing, Mickey Callaway. Beltrán and Pérez were among the group that made it to a third round of interviews with the Mets, which included a sit-down with owner Fred Wilpon.
