PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Before leading their teams against each other for the first time, the Yankees’ Aaron Boone and the Mets’ Mickey Callaway took time to discuss their new gigs as managers in New York.
“I’m trying to prepare every day for what might happen,” Callaway said Wednesday before the Yankees rallied for an 11-4 spring training win. “”I’m sure at some point we’ll get blindsided for one reason or the other, but it’s been good so far.”
Callaway took over from Terry Collins, who was fired after the longest tenure of a Mets manager, seven seasons.
