"While the 30 MLB manager positions are among the most coveted jobs in the baseball world and the opportunity to even interview for one is a significant honor, that doesn't mean that everyone on a front office's shortlist will have interest in the job. One such case is former Padres manager , who Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports has declined "multiple managerial opportunities" in order to stick in his current role as a player development executive within the Mets' front office."
"Green managed the Padres for four seasons but ultimately was fired shortly before the end of the 2019 season, eight games before the end of what would be the club's fourth-consecutive 90-loss campaign. While Green did well in bringing young players like Manuel Margot, Chris Paddack, and Fernando Tatis Jr. along in the majors, San Diego felt the results on the field weren't improving fast enough under Green."
Numerous MLB managerial vacancies have generated interest in many candidates across the sport. A former Padres manager, Green, declined multiple managerial opportunities to remain as a player-development executive in the Mets' front office. Specific teams and the seriousness of their interest are unclear. Green spent parts of four major-league seasons as a player, served as a third-base coach in Arizona, and became San Diego's manager in the 2015–16 offseason. He managed the Padres four seasons, was dismissed late in 2019 amid a fourth consecutive 90-loss year, then joined the Cubs as David Ross's bench coach for 2020.
