Interim general manager John Ricco may have laid out the game plan for the New York Mets future with his comments last week about when the team wants to contend.
In an interview with the media, Ricco went on to say “I don’t think we’re looking at a two or three-year thing.” Ricco then added that he believes the team should be on track to compete in 2019.
As the Mets playoff hopes continue to drift and the trade deadline approaches, one has to wonder if Riccos’ comments are believable, let alone realistic.
