NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets have interviewed Chicago White Sox assistant general manager Rick Hahn in their search to hire a GM.

Hahn spent several hours Tuesday at Citi Field talking to chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon, assistant general manager John Ricco and other team executives.

Former Arizona general manager Josh Byrnes will meet with the Mets on Wednesday and longtime baseball executive Sandy Alderson will speak with the team later this week.

The Mets say they also got permission from the Los Angeles Dodgers to talk to scouting director Logan White in the search to replace Omar Minaya.

The Mets interviewed former Kansas City GM Allard Baird on Monday.
