It goes without saying that the Mets, coming off an embarrassing sweep at the hands of the last-place Marlins over the weekend, were not in a great place, and it’s inevitable that there would be finger-pointing over who deserves the blame for the team’s recent tailspin. That finger-pointing predominantly came in the form of speculation over the security of Mickey Callaway’s job, as many believed he would not survive the Marlins series.
Brodie Van Wagenen has since offered his assurance that the manager’s job is safe for the time being, but if the team continues to struggle then there will inevitably be more and more people in both the media and the fan base clamoring for his removal.
