The Mets continue to cast a wide search for a president of baseball operations but aren’t finding any takers.

Giants general manager Scott Harris recently interviewed with the Mets, according to industry sources, but is unlikely to leave San Francisco, where he helped build a team that won the NL West title with 107 victories this season.

The Mets’ hope would be to have a president of baseball operations in place by the time the World Series is complete, but that timeline could be in question. The general managers’ meetings — where offseason business usually commences — are scheduled to begin on Nov. 8 in Carlsbad, Calif.

Oakland’s Billy Beane and MLB consultant Theo Epstein (the architect of World Series winning teams with the Red Sox and Cubs) are other executives the Mets spoke to on some level who won’t be accepting the job. In addition, the Mets were denied permission to speak with Milwaukee president of baseball operations David Stearns.

Milwaukee general manager Matt Arnold and Tampa Bay vice president of baseball development Peter Bendix have been on the Mets’ radar, according to sources, but it’s unclear if team president Sandy Alderson or owner Steve Cohen have spoken to either.
