CLEVELAND (AP) — Former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine will have his second interview with the Cleveland Indians on Thursday.

Valentine, who led the Mets to the World Series against the Yankees in 2000, will be the second managerial finalist to have a sit-down interview with the Indians. Former Washington manager Manny Acta met with Cleveland’s owners and other front-office personnel on Tuesday.

Valentine, 59, spent the past six years managing the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan. He’s currently working as an analyst for ESPN.

He managed Texas from 1985-92 and was with the Mets from 1996-2002.
