I can’t believe Steve Cohen with all his Billions won’t just hire Alex Cora to right the Mets ship. Just pay the man whatever!
A Gift was just dropped in his lap. Carpe Diem!
Great call! 👍👍
Rob – He probably will offer the job to Alex, if he hasn’t already …. but Cora has reasons to hold off.
Fever Pitch ( Great Film A Fav ),
You do realize that he has no choice Citi Field is already Citi Morgue. Mendodo & Stearns are an insult to Mets fans. Nobody will pay to watch this garbage product.
