When (if?) the Mets honestly assess themselves in the coming days, both before and after they presumably part ways with Mickey Callaway, they must ask themselves the right question when determining where to go from here with Noah Syndergaard.

“Can we be the organization that allows him to be his best self?”
If the answer to that is “No”? then they should liberate Thor from this purgatory and let him conquer new lands — and stock their hurting farm system in the process.
