The Mets have interviewed Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough as part of their ongoing managerial search, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. It’s expected to be their final interview of the first round of the search to replace Luis Rojas.
McCullough joins Dodgers bench coach Bob Geren as the second member of Dave Roberts’ staff to interview for the Mets’ vacancy. The other four known candidates are veteran skipper Buck Showalter, Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro, Astros bench coach Joe Espada and former Tigers/Angels skipper Brad Ausmus.
The 2021 season was the first on a Major League coaching staff for the 41-year-old McCullough, a former minor league catcher who’d previously spent close to a decade as a minor league coach and manager in the Blue Jays system. The Dodgers hired him as their minor league field coordinator in 2015 and promoted him to the big league coaching staff this past season. McCullough also interviewed for the Giants’ managerial vacancy prior to the team’s hiring of Gabe Kapler.
While the first wave of interviews was conducted via Zoom by new general manager Billy Eppler, per SNY’s Andy Martino, the second round of interviews will be conducted in person and will include owner Steve Cohen. He adds that the field is expected to be whittled down to three finalists prior to in-person interviews. At the moment, Showalter is seen as having a “strong chance” to secure the position, per Martino, but it seems as though two more candidates will have the opportunity to sway Eppler and Cohen before anything is finalized.
lol
mets
You’re
pathetic.
A lot of embarrassed fans about their first round exits, or that their teams won’t pony up and spend to fix their holes. Soon as Scherzer signed with the Mets they jumped on him. I smell jelly.
What you talking about Willis? They improved there outfield defense and instilled speed, which the team lacked desperately . So what, thay had to overpay for guys like Marte and Mad max. It seems a lot of teams are doing the same thing? I do agree they still have holes, but so do the 39 other teams. The teams that are crying poor, have the money, they just rather spend it on buying luxurious boats and mega homes for there wives and side pieces. A lot of people probably hate the owner (Cohen) but this man, is trying to change the team’s culture and make them relevant. His already done a wonderful job, in my opinion.
Remember after 3+ loosing seasons in Houston, Luhnow had to overspend to start with. It’s a primer. Once the team starts winning players will sign at fair market value if you add incentive like Houston with having strong analytic dept. and Brent Strom as a pitching coach, players desire to come.
Mets are gonna have one for f top payrolls in baseball.. whether wisely spent is issue but most was spent on players before new owner and management was in place and they are trying so recognize that
Your team has never won anything
Funny Google Search:
How many World Series have the Brewers been to?
Brewers (1970)
The Brew Crew has made it to only one World Series — a memorable seven-game loss to the Cardinals in 1982 with the “Harvey’s Wallbangers” team — and that was when they were in the AL. They nearly made it back in 2018, taking the Dodgers all the way to Game 7 of the NL Championship Series.
You’re NEVER allowed to LOL any team. You and your team are embarrassments!
Maybe so…but the Brewers have sacrificed themselves to bring titles to two of the Mets’ most hated rivals in the last three years. That makes the Mets even bigger embarrassments than they already were. At least the Brewers can actually make the playoffs more than three times in 21 years…and that’s not coming from a Brewers fan.
….in the last 21 years that’s a very specific time period for you to leave out their other post season appearances. I might as well say that at least the Mets have advanced past the DS more than once in those 21 years. Very specific and stupid. But the bottom line is that the Brewers just have never won that final game. Must hurt.
The last 21 years means 2001. That’s a pretty logical cutoff point…but if you want to throw in your World Series loss to the Yankees from 2000 then go ahead. I am not a Brewers fan. My team just won the World Series.
Enjoy your small market and low payroll
Enjoy your large market and 4th place finishes
😉
Love this response
Derp
Mets want to interview any other Dodgers? Security guards, ushers, ticket takers, grounds crew?
Clay is the friendlies dude you’ll ever meet. Stay away from the Mets, brother.
Nice guys finish last
Jerks don’t even make the standings.
Then he’s perfect for the Mets!
Don’t worry Mets ain’t hiring him
Some of these guys being interviewed may fill other coaching roles. Mets need more than just a manager.
VPH:
That is an excellent point. Though in a better FO they would let the field manager select his own coaches but that is less likely here.
Maybe it’s just that no one wants to manage that dumpster fire.
Idiot
They’re not exactly a dumpster fire anymore. I don’t know if you’ve been on here lately, but we’re setting ourselves up for success not failure. I’m sorry that you have nightmares about your own team’s implosions, but that doesn’t give you the right to hate on ours.
@NYMetsFanatic while I never bought the “Mets are a dumpster fire rhetoric”, I also have to take a step back at the Mets fans who think all is well because of a 250MM+ offseason. Isn’t this deja vu? After the Mets offseason last year, fans and media were proclaiming them division champs on par with the Dodgers. They finished third, and honestly if the season went on longer they may have dropped to fourth. Now they make another big splash in free agency and all is forgiven? It seems really premature to me to start celebrating the Mets. We’ve seen the lesson so many times: spending doesn’t always equal success.
So, I don’t think the Mets are a dumpster fire, I never really thought they were, but I’m not seeing some drastic change in the organization either….other than an obscenely high payroll.
I took hundreds of injures for us to be wrong.. I doubt that happens again… so yeah I’ll be confident
I mean they had a pretty healthy team during the final stretch when they played thrir worst, but whatever. You banged the injury drum all year. By the way signing 4 guys over 31 means we’re likely going to see a plethora of injuries again. Keep that drum handy.
It will take just two injuries to knock the Mets out of contention, Jacob and Max. If both pitch thirty games each, at 6 innings per game, they may give the Braves a real challenge. But even Mets fans should be willing to acknowledge that Jacob and maybe even Max are injury risks if 2022 is a full season. But the Braves essentially picked up a full year of Acuna, Ozuna and Duvall during the off-season, so that is why I think they are the front-runner over the manager-less (for now) Mets.
Mets fans are delusional. We keep hearing this same thing every year and they keep collapsing. It’s hard to win a title when you don’t even have opportunities. Say what you will about the Braves not having enough titles but at least they consistently give themselves chances. They finally broke through in 2021.
On paper, Mets are the second best team in division behind Atlanta, so Cohen has moved the needle. But with Jacob and Max as injury risks, nothing is locked in. Morton might be an injury risk for Atlanta, but they could better sustain his loss than the Mets say Jacob or Max.
So yes, while Mets are doing it the wrong way, with a weak farm system, a GM who fared poorly in Anaheim, and no field manager, they still have a much better chance by spending plenty even if some of the deals like Lindor were ill-advised based on the market.
Pretty healthy. *missing the best pitcher to ever live” he wasn’t the only injury btw…
On paper the Braves are the 2nd best team. Not even going to argue that.
The Braves will still win the division in all likelihood though. The Mets collapse every year.
MF22:
Best pitcher to ever (limited to MLB for past 60 years): Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson or Randy Johnson. Honorable Mention: Greg Maddux. Dishonorable Mention: Roger Clemens. Those were the toughest pitchers that I have seen. Max is not far behind these guys, but he is behind them. Max is in the Hall of Famer tier with Pedro Martinez and Clayton Kershaw. Jacob is amazing, but I doubt he will pitch long enough to make the Hall of Fame. I do root for Jacob to be healthy because when he does make it onto the mound, it is fun to watch.
Best pitcher to ever live? Come on. Haha.
I don’t put Randy Johnson with Koufax and Gibson but I might put Seaver there. I don’t care how baseball has changed, give me a damn complete game. That’s the one thing that I will never lose respect for, that is real pitching. 6 innings is bullcrap.
The Braves Just need to sign Freddy Freeman when things get going again. Anthony Rizzo would a poorer replacement. A Freeman-less Braves team may not win the division.
People said the same thjng about Acuna. The reason the Braves are so good is because they don’t rely on a handful of stars. If Harper goes down, the Phillies stink. Take away Scherzer or deGrom and the Mets rotation looks real bad. Depth is key. The Braves have it. The Mets are working on it. The Phillies don’t have it at all.
Exactly. The entire roster contributed to that Braves championship.
Degrom didn’t have the career that any of those had … but he is a better pitcher. I’m sorry . Put Degrom in their era and he might win 7 straight CY
Not the best career but definitely the best pitcher at everyone’s best. I’m not even just talking stats. Watching Degrom pitch and than watching Koufax and Gibson you could tell Degrom is just harder to hit
@MF22 You can say that about guys like Cliff Lee. There were periods where he was untouchable, but career wise, he’s nowhere near the greats. deGrom has electric stuff when he’s on, but he needs to pitch a lot more to be with the greats.
If u lose Freeman I disagree
I prefer Buck so far but who really knows from this vantage point?
Mark my words.. Cohen will make sure Buck is manager..
He should hold out for the Oklahoma City Red Wolves job.
Please make it stop.
The top three are probably going to be Buck, Joe Espada, and Bob Geren.
Yup
Quartraro. Expada and Clay next. Buck makes sense, but it’s a different game and not certain he can relate IMHO. Either way I think they have a decent list.
Buck probably had to borrow technology for that Zoom call.
I was actually shocked to learn Buck is only 65. Feels like he’s been around forever.
The Braves and Nationals have actually been competitive in recent years. The Mets, Phillies and Marlins should play a double-elimination round robin tournament in order to determine which franchise should be removed from the league.
The Phillies and Mets are successful franchises from the perspective of the other 28 owners.
Only half the teams can be above the median record, that is how it works.
If the Phillies and Mets have made some recent mistakes, it has only hurt their fans not the league as a whole.
The Marlins just need to increase spending by 50 million a year and they could be the best of the three, but if they don’t they hurt owners, players and fans by weakening the product. Sign Nick as the DH, Correa for infield, and Jansen to close and they would have a below median team salary and be better than Mets or Phillies.
Lol not even close
Steve:
Ok, let’s change my hypothetical where the Marlins signed Freeman at $32 million per year, Correa at $32 million per year, Castellanos at $23 million per year, and Jansen at $13 million per year, to fix the sub-standard payroll (still leaving them way under the Mets and Phillies):
New 2022 payroll: Mets $236 million
Phillies $157 million
Marlins $156 million (existing $56 million plus $100 million for the four players that I added – note that I used MLBTR projected salaries for all four except Freeman who I paid a higher salary to get him on Miami’s roster, and if you think $32 million cannot get Freeman then substitute Kris Bryant in his place at $27 million and the Marlins save $5 million per year)
Here are the new teams:
[Position/Marlins/Mets/Phillies]
C Stallings McCann Realmoto
1B Freeman/Bryant Alonso Hoskins
2B Chisholm McNeill Segura
SS Rojas Lindor Gregorius
3B Correa Escobar Bohm
OF Garcia Marte Harper
OF Sanchez Canha Vierling
OF DeLaCruz Nimmo Rojas
DH Castellanos Smith/Cano/Davis Stott
SP Alcantara Scherzer Wheeler
SP Rogers deGrom (IL?) Nola
SP Lopez Walker Suarez
SP Hernandez Carrasco Gibson
SP Thompson/Cabrera Megill Eflin
CL Jansen Diaz Alvarez/Brogdon
B Meyer Alvarez Abel
B Sanchez Baty Painter
The Mets present 2022 payroll is $236 million.
The Marlins present 2022 payroll is $56 million.
Imagine if the Marlins spent all of the $180 million difference as follows:
1 Freeman $35 million/yr, 6 years (overpay needed to acquire)
2 Correa $32 million/yr, 10 years
3 Bryant $27 million/yr, 6 years
4 Castellanos $23 million/yr., 5 years
5 Verlander $25 million/yr, 2 years
6 Kershaw $25 million/yr, 2 years
7 Jansen $13 million/yr, 2 years
Now compare the rosters:
(Marlins versus Mets)
C Stallings McCann even
1B Freeman Alonso edge Marlins
2B Chisholm McNeil/Cano edge Marlins
SS Correa Lindor edge Marlins
3B Bryant Escobar edge Marlins
OF Garcia Marte edge Mets
OF Sanchez Canha edge Mets
OF DeLaCruz Nimmo even
DH Castellanos Smith/Davis edge Marlins
SP1 Alcantara deGrom (if not on IL) edge Mets
SP2 Verlander Scherzer edge Mets
SP3 Kershaw Walker edge Marlins
SP4 Rogers Carrasco edge Marlins
SP5 Lopez Megill edge Marlins
CL Jansen Diaz edge Marlins
And the Marlins would have more depth and a better farm system to make mid-season adjustments. And to have equal payrolls, Mets would not have any money left even to acquire depth or role players. Simply illustrates Marlins need to spend more and Mets could have spent better.
That’s not what “median” means.
Bas:
Median = half are above that number and half are below it. My points is that if every team gets twice as good, half the teams will still end up with a record below the median and half above it.
If you were picking one of those three to eliminate, it would be the Marlins by a wide margin. The Mets and Phillies spend way more and do way more for the sport. The Marlins are leeches on the other owners (revenue sharing) and the taxpayers of Miami (their stadium). No one goes to the games, no one cares about the Marlins.
@rct
I’m all for the Marlins leaving Miami and becoming the New Orleans Gators but it won’t happen.
wasn’t there talk of the Marlins going to Raleigh/Durham or Nashville a few years back?
I never heard that but I heard of them potentially going to Portland at one point.
Better off in SA Texas
Hahaha. The Mets haters are still lurking around. It used to be because they wanted a team to kick around when their teams sucked. Now they’re just hoping somehow the Mets are the same old Mets. Sorry. There are 17 billion reasons why they won’t be. Better find another pastime. You’re sounding ridiculous.
I’m pretty sure we heard this same thing last year and they didn’t even finish above .500. The Braves have been far more competitive than the Mets and Phillies in recent years despite a big difference in payroll.
So make your case that the Mets won’t be as good as some think instead of childishly trolling nonsensical exaggeration, if you can
The Mets should be better than they are. There has to be a curse or something. They should relocate and become the Rochester Rabbits. Current fans will still have their team play in the same state that they play in now. It’s really not that bad of a change.
I’ll take that as a “no”. Oh well, have fun trolling.
You’re missing the point entirely. The Mets spend a ridiculous amount of money every year almost and they continue to embarrass themselves. Even the Cohen era has a losing record to this point.
The Phillies and Angels should prove to you that spending money doesn’t guarantee anything.
If you judge everything based off of one single action then I have some stuff to sell you. Trust me, it’s good stuff. I’m sure you’ll believe me.
There’s only one way for the Mets to prove that they aren’t just all talk.
Cosmo2, all you ever do is childishly troll people without ever making a case at all. You just come across as a bitter Mets fan.
No, I get it 100%. YOU don’t know how to discuss baseball without trolling… try this: “the Mets think that a new, rich owner equals automatic success. What they, and many of their fans don’t get is that spending doesn’t equal winning. You need a good plan, but the Mets have no plan other than spend, spend, spend. It didn’t work last year, and contrary to the premature victory dance some fans have been doing, it won’t work this year either. The organization needs to understand baseball, not just throw money at the wall and then gloat before anything substantial has been accomplished.” See, I understand, I’ve made your point for you, and I did without sounding like an inebriated toddler. Thats what you don’t understand.
Their main problem is that they can’t get out of the shadow of the Yankees. That’s why they need to leave the NYC area and go to Rochester or Buffalo.
How old are you? The disconnect is amazing. But you are entitled to THINK what you want.
@Cohens_Wallet
I don’t know why you’re so opposed to “Rochester Rabbits.” It’s alliteration at its finest and it helps them establish their own identity completely separate from the Yankees while still keeping them in the same state.
They don’t need to move. You are being ridiculous. There might be a good point about organization culture you are trying to make but it gets lost in childish exaggeration.
The fact that they have “New York” in their name means they’ll be forever tied to the Yankees. No matter what they do, they’ll always be second best in NYC. They would have to win 25 championships before the Yankees win even one just to catch them. That creates a negative atmosphere.
Hi Chuck
Moron
The way the Yankees choke in the playoffs it might happen lol…
Cohen wants Buck, so let’s get on with it!
Say what you will but this corny joke still applies. It’s ironic that a guy with HEN in his name just watched his team lay an egg.
Because Clayton has lay in it. Clever.
I hadn’t considered that but if you want to add that in then go ahead.
I’m with you!!
Braves over White Sox will happen before the Mets win anything.
Troll
If Eppler has any say in the decision, he’ll want Ausmus again.
May as well get Beltran back. He knows how to steal signs. May win a game or two more than shuck bowalter
Lol Mets always trying to find ways to poach from the Dodgers legacy. What, the pretend Ebbets Field, Jackie Robinson Rotunda, and Dodger blue color wasn’t enough?
Past ownership, but you can believe what you want. Your entitled to that.
They are all good candidates except Ausmus, IMO.
Clayton McCullough, come on down! You’re the next contestant in The Mets are Lol!
Suddenly every dodger coach is like a lucky charm.
Mike Hargrove
Agreed, that would be my best excuse to make my payroll 400 million. I refuse to be mediocre, one year was enough for me.
Mets over Astros in 2049
What about signing Clayton Kershaw as a player-manager?
The Dodgers already have a manager…..Kersh isn’t signing with the Muts.
Muts? Brilliant. How do you come up with this stuff.
Well ya see, he took the “e” out of Mets & changed it to a “u.” Sheer genius. That made it “Muts.” Not really a word but sort of close to “mutts.” A mutt is a dog with mixed lineage. So he’s saying the Mets are a team of dogs with mixed lineage. Totally makes sense, incredibly clever, & hilariously funny. I’ll be laughing for days and days!
Are the A’s interviewing people for their managerial opening, or do they just keep their business out of the media? Why does everything the Mets do end up being reported?
Big market. Big media. Big owner. And traditionally the Mets like to leak info about every move they make.
It’s how the Mets and the NY media operate. Yankees as well. Literally every little move gets leaked to or found out by the NY media and the fans are ravenous for every scrap of info no matter how inane.
I’m waiting for a “Mets Interview Steve Adams For Their Managerial Opening”
@Cosmo2 what team are you a fan of?
I’m a Mets fan but I’m pretty critical of their approach. I’m a glass half empty kind of fan. I’m not too high on the big spending philosophy
For what it’s worth, I have predicted that the Mets will win their next title 35 years before the Phillies will.
Mets over Astros in 2049
Phillies over Twins in 2084
Troll
@Cosmo2 I’m with you my brother, at the same time it’s the same thing thats been done before by other successful teams Yankees/Dodgers. Both have spent an enormous amount of money just for the chance at being in the playoffs every year.
We can either blow it all up and be cheap with a billionaire owner or we can spend till the time comes when the youth arrives and there’s a better day. I hear and respect your point, I just believe there’s always more ways than one to go about things.
Or maybe alot more money for the right Walloper. Canha only has a two year deal, if the Yankees let franchise icon Aaon Judge become a free agent at the end of this season, how much will Cohen pay to take his neighbor’s most coveted player? Or is the reason the Giants aren’t spending as much this winter as some expected because they really want next year’s prize walloper, Judge is a Giants fan.
Cosmo is a good poster. He’s a Mets fan but not an obnoxious homer like MetsFan22 or whatever his handle is. He’s critical of the Mets when he needs to be.
Thanks, rct
You’re just jelly we are the new empire
The Mets don’t have an empire. They have a pile of rubble at the bottom of the NL East.
Why are you so obnoxious? Everyone else is here to DISCUSS baseball. Your team just won it all but instead of feeling good about it you have to be a miserable, childish troll. Seriously, what’s up with that?
The rivalry doesn’t ease up just because one team wins a championship. Besides, I’m not satisfied with only one. I want another championship at the very least and hopefully another one after that.
Rivalry? That has nothing to do with it. You are OBNOXIOUS! Do you not see how most everyone else here is capable of being friendly?
Friendly? I’ve offered numerous suggestions that would get the Mets out of their nightmarish curse. Every location I mentioned would still be in the same general region of the country. Their fans could still see them play…only with a new name and no more curse.
Buck;PLEASE
As a Yankees fan I think the Mets have had a awesome off season thus far. Adding Buck would just continue the trend.
I’ve been a Yankee fan dating back to Billy Martin. Showalter remains my favorite manager ever.
The Mets are looking more and more like the Yankees everyday
Lol
Are people seriously still wondering why the Mets can’t finish the job? I mean, they’re too lazy to spell out “Metropolitans.” Everything is done with minimal effort.
You’re a moron.
God, I love the mute button.
Just hire Buck and hire Beltran as manager in waiting if Buck would go for it. Buck doesn’t have a lot of years left to be a manager. Let him change the clubhouse. Beltran could get at least some coaching experience while waiting. By most accounts Beltran is a baseball savant and great in the clubhouse. Plus I’ve always hated the heat he’s taken from Mets’ fans for one strikeout.
A no name pawn will be the hire.
They don’t want Buck he will not be a Cohen puppet.They would have hired him by now and he does not want the job either.The Mets will get someone with none to little experience as a Mgr or some has been like Ausmus.
based on? Cohen doesn’t want a neophyte – Cohen doesn’t want to run the day to day. He wants/needs experience.
Oh his past actions show he doesn’t want to run the show LOL wake up he is the biggest problem the organization has and they will win nothing until he sells.3rd place every year if they are lucky.The Braves and Marlins will win the division before the Mets ever do.
Well if BOB said it then….
Heh, yea, Bob really needs to consider maybe breaking those Prozacs in half.
You’re assuming he can count that high.
Thanks for your wealth of knowledge Cohens_Wallet,You have been in the owners rear pocket so long you are starting to smell like his ASS.
@Bob333 Everyone should give you a thumbs up for that, we know you tried your hardest. But as the saying goes
Well if BOB said it then…
Time for a POLL
When the Mets finally realize that Queens is cursed and decide to relocate, they should become the…
A) Rochester Rabbits
B) Buffalo Bisons
C) Hartford Seals
D) Atlantic City Rapids
I know a lot of sites that would’ve banned you by now. You really are a jerk.
The Mets play in the biggest market in the country and yet they haven’t won a championship in 35 years.
I will give you one more option if you don’t like any of those four…
Gotham Ghost Riders
@toofpick78 has is set to where I can’t reply. That means they’re running away from the cold, dark reality in Queens.
It means they don’t want to deal with your asinine antagonism, cuz that’s all it is that you do. You seem incapable of intelligent discussion.
LOL it’s obvious that they can dish it out but they can’t take it. They’re replying to me and then running away.
You’re being rude and obnoxious. No one is “dishing it ou”, it’s just you being a rude, boring a-hole. You are the reason the mute button was created.
It’s been since 1986…in that huge market. As much as the Phillies suck, even they have won a title this century.
*it
2022 standings…assuming there are 162 games…
Braves: 92-70
Phillies: 83-79
Mets: 80-82
Nationals: 73-89
Marlins: 71-91
No way the Nats finish ahead of the Fish.
Maybe not…but they’re both going to be bad.
Unrealistic. Mets would have to have the same injury luck as last year and they still might win more than 80
The Braves had more significant injuries than the Mets and they won the World Series. deGrom is a great pitcher but he can only pitch once every five days. None of the other Mets injuries were as significant as Atlanta’s injuries.
That depends on how you view significant. Significance in terms of severity to the player who got hurt, yes, significance in terms of the team impact, no. No doubt the Braves losing Acuna, Ozuna and Soroka should have had a huge impact. But it didn’t, because the replacements, Soler, Duvall, Rosario and Anderson performed at unexpectedly high levels. One could even argue that the Braves team was better on the field (not on paper, on the field) with the replacements. The Mets however replaced deGrom & Carrasco with Tyler Megill and Rich Hill, and Nimmo with Pillar. Acquiring Baez off set Lindor’s injury, but as a whole the cast of replacement far underperformed. In terms of impact in the standings, the Mets injuries were far worse. Hats off to AA and his operations team. Wins come on the field, but in 2021, the Braves in season moves won them a World Series. More importantly, the Walloper wouldn’t play for the Braves, he refused to report. They acquired him, but had to trade him. Wonder if a few seasons at the old launching pad would have him in the HOF now……
Also the Mets had a lot more injuries
I have a newsflash: The Mets will suffer injuries in 2022 as well. So will the Braves. It’s not about luck. It’s about depth. Who is prepared to handle the storm? Braves were last year. Mets were not.
82-85 wins for the Mets maybe
All these Mets fans whining about injuries act as if the Braves didn’t lose Acuna, Soroka and Ozuna for the year and spend three months without a legitimate catcher. deGrom is great but he can only pitch once every five days and I don’t even think you can depend on him to do that. He’ll probably make 20-25 starts. Also, they just signed a guy who couldn’t pitch in an elimination game in the NLCS because he had a “dead arm.”
I know right? The Mets are doomed! It looks horrible for them lol.
Agreed. On a positive note, this could give them plenty of time to create new recipes for their postseason watch parties at home…and just imagine how many hot wings Cohen’s wallet could buy.
I can imagine that, just like I can imagine the numerous championships I’ll keep hoping will arrive. And yes I’ll keep hoping, I’ll answer you before you even respond, isn’t that what you do for your team? hope they win?? I’m sure you can’t tell me your team has won the last 3 championships. Till then keep your hatred up, I like it, I actually smile when you respond to me lol.
No one wants in on that ship of fool s , their only hope was Theo Epstein, but the owner is a narcissist , and maybe worse than that. Barnum and Bailey circus
No one wants in on that ship of fools? That’s interesting. I could swear they just signed two of the top free agents on the market.
What exact thrill do you yahoos get from pretending the Mets are some poorly run disaster? I don’t get it, it just makes it seem like you don’t understand baseball at all. As Bill M points out, they’ve been recruiting top players pretty successfully. Do you even follow this sport?
It’s such a ridiculous narrative, and it’s only going to get more widespread. Now that the Mets are outspending the entire league, the hater train is going to get crowded. Now, I hate the Mets. Always have, but I don’t ignore reality.
I think spending more money actually makes it worse because it proves that they can’t win regardless of what they do.
Everyone can’t win until they do.
@VonPurpleHayes Nice to see there are some on here that can carry on a mature conversation without headcase type comments involved. Then again I guess we have to let the trolls live too. Hate to have to mute so many but the number of trolls has grown exponentially.
Mutual respect is a beautiful thing,we’re all here to root on our favorite teams. Any given team, any given time. The Phillies are a thorn on the Mets side, somehow we always get together to play some great games. Mad respect.
1969 and 1986 were both legendary World Series. I’ll give you that…but they’re both beyond ancient now.
