The Mets announced Tuesday morning on their official blog (who knew they had such a thing?) that they have fired Dan Warthen and Ray Ramirez.
Warthen has been the Mets pitching coach since 2008. But with every starter except Jacob deGrom finishing the season with at least ERAs of 5.00, the Mets had seen enough.
Ramirez was the head trainer and the target of boos every time he walked out of the dugout to escort yet another injured player off the field. He had been in the job since 2005.
The Mets also announced Terry Collins has accepted a position as Special Assistant to the General Manager.
