As the Mets continue to wrap up what’s been a disappointing season, there have been quite a few rumblings about what New York will focus on for 2024. Could one of those things be replacing Buck Showalter with Craig Counsell as the club’s manager?
It’s looking unlikely. The chance of New York hiring David Stearns to fill its eternally vacant President of Baseball Operations position is looking good. There had been speculation that Stearns might bring Counsell, his longtime manager in Milwaukee, with him to Queens.
After all, a dude in charge of baseball operations likes to have his own “guy” managing the squad.
