Jeff Wilpon, Brodie Van Wagenen and Mickey Callaway met for 90 minutes Friday with the Mets’ COO imploring his manager to use anything learned from the free fall of last season to stem the Mets’ current slide, The Post has learned.
There was no mandate established that to save his job Callaway must win a certain amount over the next 13 games exclusively against the league-worst Marlins and struggling Nationals. The preference of the organization is to avoid a midseason managerial change.
But Wilpon felt compelled to summon his GM and manager to discuss the current state of the team and to express the need to avoid what befell the 2018 Mets — a strong start followed by a collapse.
