Mets fans, an all-new episode is here!
This week Mike and I react to Craig Counsell bolting for the Chicago Cubs, we talk about all you need to know about the newest Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and why the club pivoted to the former Yankee coach! Plus, Kodai Senga was named a rookie of the finalist!
How surprising was the Mets hire of Mendoza? For Mike, the fanbase may have been surprised, but internally the Mets knew exactly who their finalists would be:
“I think that it was less of a shock than people may think because we knew that it was down Counsell or Mendoza. From what I heard the Mets did make a substantial offer to Counsell. It wasn’t quite what the Cubs ultimately gave him and the Mets certainly wanted him, but $40 million is also quite a lot for a manager.”
