Mets’ heightened expectations put Mickey Callaway on hot seat
Mickey Callaway Anthony J. CausiPORT ST. LUCIE — On Feb. 13, 2018, Mickey Callaway commandeered the front table at First Data Field’s news-conference room and proclaimed, “If we do not do things, it’s going to be on me.”
Precisely one year later, at the same table in the same room — and on the rare occasion of the Mets’ spring-training complex actually carrying the same name for consecutive seasons — an Associated Press reporter asked if Callaway felt equally responsible for and confident in this 2019 Mets team.
“I’m always going to feel like that, and we all know that’s the case with the manager,” he responded. “That’s what is expected, and I’m on board with that.”
