Aaron Boone’s jump from ESPN to the dugout has worked out, leaving the Mets willing to dip into that pool for their own managerial vacancy.

Eduardo Perez, who played 13 seasons in the big leagues, became the latest known Mets managerial candidate Monday, when it was expected he would receive a face-to-face interview with club officials. The Post first reported the Mets’ interest in Perez.

The 50-year-old Perez, whose father Tony is a Hall of Fame first baseman who starred for the Big Red Machine of the 1970s, has spent the last several years an ESPN analyst and also co-hosts a show on SiriusXM radio. Perez served as Astros bench coach in 2013 after a previous stint as Marlins hitting coach.

Perez joined Joe Girardi, Carlos Beltran, Mike Bell, Derek Shelton and Luis Rojas among the known candidates to replace Mickey Callaway. Bell, the Diamondbacks vice president of player development, was also scheduled to interview with general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and his staff Monday.

Boone left the ESPN booth following the 2017 season to become Yankees manager and has guided the club to two straight postseason appearances. Perez’s ESPN colleagues include Jessica Mendoza, who serves as an adviser to Van Wagenen. In their previous managerial search, two years ago, the Mets interviewed MLB Network analyst Mark DeRosa for the position. And Girardi has spent the last two seasons working in TV to maintain visibility.

“[Perez] is very popular in the clubhouse,” said a person who has worked with him. “He is going to score high marks from a Brodie side of things, if you like your manager to have a good relationship with your players and communicate. The trust factor there, he played, he is going to score high there, for sure.”

Perez played for the Angels, Reds, Cardinals, Rays, Indians and Mariners — with a stint in-between in Japan — during a major league career that stretched from 1993-2006. His managerial experience consists of guiding a team in the Puerto Rico Baseball League and later Team Colombia in the 2013 World Baseball Classic.

Among the known candidates, only Girardi owns major league managing experience. The former Yankees manager has already interviewed with the Cubs and is expected to meet this week with Mets officials. He was scheduled to interview with the Phillies on Monday

According to an industry source, Buck Showalter’s potential candidacy for the Mets position has been stalled because of concerns about the former manager’s interactions with the front office in previous jobs. Showalter was expected to meet with the Phillies on Monday to interview for their managerial vacancy.

Beltran, who serves as a special assistant with the Yankees, has indicated in recent days that he only wants to be considered for the Mets opening. The former All-Star outfielder said he has declined opportunities to interview with the Cubs and Padres for their managerial vacancies.
