Say it with me, everyone: for the first time in six years, the New York Mets are headed to the playoffs. It’s been a wild ride between that NL Wild Card Game appearance in 2016 and the 2022 squad. A ride that’s only worthy of belonging to the Mets.
New York has gone through six (!) different managers since they last entered the playoffs. Yea, seriously. Terry Collins led that 2016 squad, and once he was done managing at the end of 2017, the Mets brought in Mickey Callaway. That…didn’t go well. Carlos Beltran’s tenure ended before he even had a chance to manage a game, giving way to Luis Rojas from 2020-21.
