President-Elect Trump considering former Mets manager Bobby Valentine as ambassador to Japan

Oh.

So disclaimer, I’m currently in London and writing this from across the pond and when I first saw the tweets about this I thought it was a joke. Then I saw the New York Post article entitled “Trump considering Bobby Valentine for ambassador to Japan” and well, it wasn’t a joke anymore evidently.

According to WEEI Radio in Boston, the beloved former Mets manager is on the short list for the diplomatic post. He actually has a chance of being the ambassador to Japan?

Additionally, WEEI Radio goes on to state that Valentine has actually had conversations with trump’s transition team.
