The New York Mets have decided to go in a specific direction, one that doesn’t include Mickey Callaway. New York fired Callaway on Thursday after two years of employing him as their manager. They finished with a combined record of 163-161 in those two seasons with zero playoff appearances.
Callaway, who’s now had longer than 24 hours to process getting canned from his inaugural managerial job, has provided a statement. Ultimately, he’s “disappointed” of the firing, as was expected.
“I’m proud of what we accomplished together,” Callaway told Tim Healey of Newsday on Friday.
