"The team now appears willing to give scrappy fan favorite Wally Backman a chance to return to baseball in a minor-league job. Backman has technically not been given a new position yet, but he's been told they'd like to hire him and have invited him for an interview that is expected to be a formality.
The Mets apparently will resist any temptation to immediately add Backman to the major-league staff.
The Mets fired a few minor-league coaches recently and have openings to fill there as well."
But that's not all the good news for MB.
The Marlins have had conversations with Bobby Valentine about a possible position within the organization.
Current manager Fredi Gonzalez is expected to be fired.

Be great if Backman got hired. Hopefully he'll take over when Manuel gets fired next June.
As for Bobby V - I wish he would have stayed in japan. The only good news about the Marlins going after him is maybe the mets will stay away from him. I HATE Bobby V - terrible manager.
