As far as New York Mets rumors go, the focus has been almost entirely on the search for a new manager. The team cannot do anything until after the World Series ends anyway. So, those behind-the-scenes rumblings have all been about who captains this team, hopefully, to victory in 2020.
During the late afternoon NFL games on Sunday, the Mets rumors actually delivered us some names. What we learned last week about the manager hunt was that there was an alleged “bombshell” candidate in the running for the job. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and others, a mysterious man up for the job is Milwaukee Brewers bench coach Pat Murphy.
