In the wake of Roger Cedeno’s DUI arrest in Florida early Tuesday, the Mets are moving quickly to prevent future problems. Ray Negron, an addiction recovery specialist, spoke with owner Fred Wilpon yesterday and is scheduled for an interview next week when general manager Steve Phillips returns from his vacation.

Negron had previously interviewed with Dr. Allan Lans, director of the Mets’ employee assistance program. Negron, a former Yankees batboy known for his friendship with Reggie Jackson and counsel to Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, is close with Roberto Alomar.
