Cross another name off the list in the Mets’ search for a top baseball executive.
Raquel Ferreira, a Red Sox executive vice president and assistant general manager, spoke to Mets officials in recent days about their GM search, but has opted not to formally interview for the position, The Post confirmed Thursday night. Ferreira decided that the job was not currently a fit, as the Boston Globe first reported.
Ferreira, who has been with the Red Sox since 1999, was expected to speak with the Mets this week in more of a “Get to know you” session that allowed both sides to determine whether they wanted to take the idea any further, The Post previously reported.
Following those conversations, Ferreira became the latest candidate to bow out of the Mets’ search for a chief of baseball operations.
